Mixed outcomes in recombination rates after domestication: Revisiting theory and data

The paper examines recombination rate changes in domesticated species compared to their wild ancestors, finding mixed results across chicken, sheep, and goats.

Temperature affects recombination rate plasticity and meiotic success between thermotolerant and cold tolerant yeast species

This study examines how temperature affects meiotic success and recombination rates in two yeast species with different thermal tolerances, finding temperature-dependent differences in sporulation and recombination.

PRDM9 directs recombination hotspots to prevent competition with meiotic transcription

The paper investigates how PRDM9 influences competition between meiotic transcription and recombination by relocating recombination hotspots and identifies a potential role for retrotransposons in hotspot direction.

Genetic differentiation and intrinsic genomic features explain variation in recombination hotspots among cocoa tree populations

The paper examines recombination hotspots in cocoa tree populations, finding higher rates in domesticated and bottlenecked populations, and links them to genetic differentiation and specific genomic features.
