  2. Coefficient of coincidence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coefficient_of_coincidence

    In genetics, the coefficient of coincidence (c.o.c.) is a measure of interference in the formation of chromosomal crossovers during meiosis. It is generally the case that, if there is a crossover at one spot on a chromosome, this decreases the likelihood of a crossover in a nearby spot. [1] This is called interference.

  3. Genetic map function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_map_function

    Where d is the distance in map units, the Morgan Mapping Function states that the recombination frequency r can be expressed as =.This assumes that one crossover occurs, at most, in an interval between two loci, and that the probability of the occurrence of this crossover is proportional to the map length of the interval.

  4. Crossover interference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossover_interference

    Crossover interference is the term used to refer to the non-random placement of crossovers with respect to each other during meiosis.The term is attributed to Hermann Joseph Muller, who observed that one crossover "interferes with the coincident occurrence of another crossing over in the same pair of chromosomes, and I have accordingly termed this phenomenon ‘interference’."

  5. Hill–Robertson effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hill–Robertson_effect

    In population genetics, the Hill–Robertson effect, or Hill–Robertson interference, is a phenomenon first identified by Bill Hill and Alan Robertson in 1966. [1] It provides an explanation as to why there may be an evolutionary advantage to genetic recombination .

  6. Crossover value - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossover_value

    In genetics, the crossover value is the linked frequency of chromosomal crossover between two gene loci ().For a fixed set of genetic and environmental conditions, recombination in a particular region of a linkage structure tends to be constant and the same is then true for the crossover value which is used in the production of genetic maps.

  7. Clonal interference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clonal_interference

    Clonal interference is a phenomenon in evolutionary biology, related to the population genetics of organisms with significant linkage disequilibrium, especially asexually reproducing organisms. The idea of clonal interference was introduced by American geneticist Hermann Joseph Muller in 1932. [ 1 ]

    The body of a woman who disappeared 10 years ago has been found in a minivan submerged in a Florida pond. Yekaterina “Katya” Belaya, a mom of three, was last seen heading to a store in 2014 ...

  9. Gene conversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_conversion

    Gene conversion is the process by which one DNA sequence replaces a homologous sequence such that the sequences become identical after the conversion. [1] Gene conversion can be either allelic, meaning that one allele of the same gene replaces another allele, or ectopic, meaning that one paralogous DNA sequence converts another.
