Obstacles to the unification of recombination mechanisms are: the multiplicity of ways of systematizirig and describing the telltale aberrant or exceptional recombination events, and the substantially different ways of ...

With the goal of elucidating the molecular basis of genetic recombination, our laboratory has studied special sites that promote recombination in their neighborhood and enzymes essential for recombination in Escherichia coli. The genetic properties...

The assumption that quantitative variation is produced by a large number of genes is re-examined. In fact, one finds that often only a small number of loci are involved. This, therefore, opens to careful study the developmental ...
