The location of these recombination ' hotspots ' could help population biologists to map the position of genetic variants associated with disease .
这些重组的高发位点热点,能帮助人类生物学家绘制出与疾病相关的遗传变异位点图谱。
Stephen quake , a bioengineer at stanford university in california , has performed similar experiments in 100 sperm cells and identified several places in the genome in which recombination is more likely to occur .
" This is quite possible but a bit surprising since it would imply that both vaccines have gone into the same animal , which would be required for recombination to occur , " paul farrell , a virologist at imperial college london , wrote in a statement released by the science media centre .
