High-density SNP-based genetic maps for the parents of an outcrossed and a selfed tetraploid garden rose cross, inferred from admixed progeny using the 68k rose SNP array

The aim of this study was to generate the first high-density genetic linkage map for tetraploid garden rose, using an approach that starts with constructing separate homologs. 34 SNPs were genotyped ...

Variation in recombination frequency and distribution across eukaryotes: patterns and processes

Recombination, the exchange of DNA between maternal and paternal chromosomes during meiosis, is an essential feature of sexual reproduction in nearly all multicellular organisms. While the role of ...

Recombination changes at the boundaries of fully and partially sex-linked regions between closely related Silene species pairs

In S. latifolia, no recombinants were detected between the genes studied here and the MSY region in male meiosis, and, in natural populations of S. latifolia, they all show marked sex differences in ...
