In the simulations reported below, individuals consist of 7 chromosomes, each experiencing an average of 1recombinationeventper chromosome.
From theCambridge English Corpus
We obtained 32 recombinant lines, each occurring from a singlerecombinationevent, over a total of 30000 observed individuals.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Mitotic recombination may result in loss of heterozygosity for all markers distal to therecombinationevent.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The original mutant structure is present in another spore, which shows that this allele served as donor in the inter-allelicrecombinationevent.
From theCambridge English Corpus
This pattern can only be explained by arecombinationeventin the history of the sample, or recurrent mutation.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Offspring are grouped by paternal multi-marker haplotype with haplotypes differing in the location of therecombinationevent.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Since each ionization orrecombinationeventresults in the creation or loss respectively of one electron-ion pair, the continuity source terms should scale identically for both electrons and ions.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Similarly, for substitution mapping only those sons which are informative at both markers of a subinterval should be classified as having or not having arecombinationeventin that sub-interval.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Should the mitoticrecombinationeventoccur at the 1-cell stage zygote, embryonic development will originate from two genetically distinct cell populations that are either homozygous wild-type or homozygous recessive.
From theCambridge English Corpus
These results could be extended to arbitrary linear maps, because all that matters is the chance of arecombinationeventthat dissociates the marker from some set of loci.
From theCambridge English Corpus
A geneticrecombinationeventknown as crossing over can result in karyotypes that do not match their phenotypic expression.

The hallmark of the phages' genome structure is genetic mosaicism, reflecting non-homologous recombination events in their ancestry.
From theCambridge English Corpus
During this time, however, the vast majority of recombination events will have occurred.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Since both parental lineages were homozygous at one locus or the other, recombination events that could have occurred during oogenesis remained undetectable.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Pooling both parents, a total of 5.5 recombination events are thus expected in this region, whereas none was observed.
