The hallmark of the phages' genome structure is genetic mosaicism, reflecting non-homologous recombination events in their ancestry.
During transmission of genetic material from one generation to the next, corresponding sections of maternal and paternal chromosome copies are sometimes exchanged (genetic recombination).
The replicons had to have potential for efficient genetic recombination and evolution.
This continuum probably arose from recombination processes in the early phase of the laser-induced plasma.
This may depend in part on the degree to which recombination is elevated in gene-containing regions.
In the simulations reported below, individuals consist of 7 chromosomes, each experiencing an average of 1 recombination event per chromosome.
From the trends revealed by the simulations, we can formulate expectations for the extreme case of free recombination.
The purpose of this was to examine how conservative the test statistics are with respect to recombination.
