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

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

Abstract Background Recombination plays an important evolutionary role by breaking up haplotypes and shuffling genetic variation. This process impacts the ability of selection to eliminate deleterious mutations or increase the frequency of beneficial mutations in a population. To understand the role...
