recombinational (not comparable)
(genetics) Of or pertaining to genetic recombination.
Competent S. pneumoniae in a biofilm have the survival advantage that they can more easily take up transforming DNA from nearby cells in the biofilm to use for recombinational repair of oxidative damages in their DNA. Source: Internet
Expression of four key DNA repair genes that are necessary for homologous recombinational repair during meiosis (BRCA1, MRE11, Rad51, and ATM) decline with age in oocytes. Source: Internet
Homologous recombinational repair is especially promoted during meiosis. Source: Internet
However, these meioses can provide the adaptive benefit of recombinational repair of DNA damages during formation of germ cells at each generation. Source: Internet
On the view that that recombination in HIV is a repair process, the generation of recombinational variation would be a consequence, but not the cause of, the evolution of template switching. Source: Internet
Rather, a short-term benefit, such as recombinational repair during meiosis, citation citation may be the key to the maintenance of sex in S. cerevisiae. Source: Internet
