Recombination Variability and Evolution

This is a detailed review of all aspects of recombination. Drawing together genetic, evolutionary and breeding studies, it serves for the Western reader as an introduction to the large volume of Eastern European research in this area. Recombination phenomenology, mechanisms and theoretical models are reviewed and interpreted and new models offered for non-zero recombination and polymorphism. This book should be of interest to researchers in genetics, evolutionary sciences and population biology.
