The Genetic Architecture of Natural Variation in Recombination Rate in Drosophila melanogaster.
Meiotic recombination ensures proper chromosome segregation in many sexually reproducing organisms. Despite this crucial function, rates of recombination are highly variable within and between taxa, and the genetic basis of this variation remains poorly understood. Here, we exploit natural variation...
