Although the disease cannot be stopped by removal of the alternate host, the life cycle is disrupted and the rate of mutation is decreased because of reduced genetic recombination.
A recombination rate that is too high may lead to premature convergence of the genetic algorithm.
At Auburn, his research focused on theoretical atomic physics, and his dissertation — Discovery of Enhanced Recombination in Astrophysical Environments and the Implications for Plasma Diagnostics — focused on the study of planetary nebulae.
ALT cells produce abundant T-circles, possible products of intratelomeric recombination and T-loop resolution (Tomaska et al., 2000; 2009; Cesare and Griffith, 2004; Wang et al., 2004).
As gas density increases at lower altitudes, the recombination process prevails, since the gas molecules and ions are closer together.
As recombination proceeds and more ions are created, an increasing electric field develops through the depletion zone that acts to slow and then finally stop recombination.
