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.
The Kosambi mapping function was introduced to account for the impact played by crossover interference on recombination frequency. It introduces a parameter C, representing the coefficient of coincidence, and sets it equal to 2r. For loci which are strongly linked, interference is strong; otherwise, interference decreases towards zero. [5]
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’."
Most of these events involve an exchange of equal amounts of genetic information, but unequal exchanges may occur due to sequence mismatch. These are referred to by a variety of names, including non-homologous crossover, unequal crossover, and unbalanced recombination, and result in an insertion or deletion of genetic information into the ...
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 .

Many of us know the big names in the high-end-design space, like Louis Vuitton and Gucci — but just knowing the brands isn't enough to build a fashionable wardrobe.
