This project investigates the variability of meiotic recombination rates in sexual reproduction, particularly focusing on the differences between sexes. By studying house sparrows, it aims to uncover the genetic and evolutionary factors influencing this diversity.
Meiotic recombination is a fundamental feature of sexual reproduction with great evolutionary importance.
Its molecular mechanisms are remarkably conserved, yet its rates and distribution along chromosomes are hugely variable across eukaryotes.
Understanding this diversity remains a major challenge in evolutionary biology.
Individual sex is a major source of variation in autosomal recombination.
This “heterochiasmy” can differ in direction and strength within and between closely related species,…
