Genomic signatures of recombination in a natural population of the bdelloid rotifer Adineta vaga

Genomic signatures of recombination in a natural population of the bdelloid rotifer Adineta vaga

Ancient, asexual lineages are rare as a lack of recombination is usually an evolutionary dead end. Here, authors compare complete genomes of 11 individual bdelloid rotifers that suggest evidence of regular genetic exchange between individuals in a species that was previously thought to be asexual.
