  Linkage maps
The frequency of recombinants for the Drosophila autosomal genes that we studied (pr and vg) was 10.7 percent of the progeny
Sturtevant suggested that we can use the percentage of recombinants as a quantitative index of the linear distance between two genes on a genetic map, or linkage map, as it is sometimes called.
The unit of mapping (1 m.u.) is defined as a recombinant frequency of 1 percent.

To assess the direct contribution of polymerases from virus types 1 and 2 to mutation frequency, recombinant HSV expressing a type 2 Pol within a type 1 viral genome were generated by marker transfer and examined along with a panel of other HSV isolates in two mutagenesis assays.
Recombinant virus was plaque purified to homogeneity in the presence of X-Gal.
The relative mutation frequency for the panel of viruses tested in the non-HSV DNA mutagenesis assay are presented in Table 2.

  Lecture 11: Variations and Extensions of Mendel's laws
When genes are linked, and there is recombination, the frequencies are different.
Recombinant gametes show the "new" arrangement that results from crossing over between the two genes.
Thus, a recombinant frequency of 1% determines the two genes to be1 m.u.

  LINKAGE MAPPING   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Note that the two parental types are produced with equal frequency as are the recombinant types.
Recombination frequency between genes increases with increasing distance between genes and can be used to create genetic maps of chromosomes.
Where near 0% recombination frequency means the genes are very tightly linked, and 50% recombination frequency means the genes are entirely unlinked.

In genetics, recombinant frequency is the frequency, or chance, that crossing-over will take place between two loci (or genes) during meiosis.
The recombinant frequency will always be 50 percent when two genes are located on different chromosomes.
According to Mendelian genetics, the expected phenotypes would occur in a 9:3:3:1 ratio of PL:Pl:pL:pl. To their surprise, they observed an increased frequency of PL and pl and a decreased frequency of Pl and pL (see chart below).

Meiotic recombination is the process by with a haploid product is generated that is genotypically different from the original haploid cells that gave rise to the original diploid cell.
Recombination rates of 50% can be achieved by genes that reside on different chromosomes simply by independent assortment.
A recombinant frequency of 50% generally means that the genes are unlinked on separate chromosomes.

We compared the recombination rates in adult and embryonic tissue and found that embryonic cells are ~10X more likely to undergo homologous recombination compared to cells from adult tissues.
Chronic exposure of FYDR Recombomice to radiation revealed that the frequency of recombinant cells is lower in chronically exposed animals compared to controls.
Using cells that carry a direct repeat recombination substrate, we have been studying the effects of a cancer chemotherapeutic agent on persistent and bystander-induced homologous recombination.

One possibility is that the recombination occurred during reverse transcription; for example, at the completion of synthesis of the VNBJ2 plus strand DNA, transfer of the 3' OH to the VL30 genome could allow further elongation on the VL30 as template.
The appearance of these integrated recombinant proviruses highlights the ability of the retroviral DNA to become joined with the host genome even when the normal integration machinery is inactivated.
Recombinant proviruses containing VL30 sequences have also been detected recently in insertional activations of proto-oncogenes, suggesting that these elements may enhance insertion at particular sites or expression of nearby genes (32).

 Genetic recombination - Definition, explanation
Genetic recombination is the process by which the combination of genes in an organism's offspring becomes different from the combination of genes in that organism.
Recombination is the mechanism by which organisms avoid Muller's ratchet.
This is because recombination is greatly influenced by the proximity of one gene to another.

The acceleration of chromosome assignments is due to (1) a com-bination of improved and new techniques in chromosome sorting and band analysis, (2) data from family studies, and (3) the intro-duction of recombinant DNA technology.
Genetic mapping resolution has been increased through the application of recombinant DNA technology, including in vitro radiation-induced chromosome fragmentation and cell fusions (joining human cells with those of other species to form hybrid cells) to create panels of cells with specific and varied human chromosomal components.

 Encyclopedia :: encyclopedia : Radio frequency   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Radio frequency, or RF, refers to that portion of the electromagnetic spectrum in which electromagnetic waves can be generated by alternating current fed to an antenna.
Above 300 GHz, the absorption of electromagnetic radiation by Earth's atmosphere is so great that the atmosphere is effectively opaque to higher frequencies of electromagnetic radiation, until the atmosphere becomes transparent again in the so-called infrared and optical window frequency ranges.
The ELF, SLF, ULF, and VLF bands overlap the AF (audio frequency) spectrum, which is approximately 20–20,000 Hz.
