Replacement of C(3)G in Drosophila melanogaster shows altered recombination patterns, suggesting key metrics behind genetic divergence.

The Drosophila mauritiana C(3)G protein alters crossover frequency and placement in Drosophila melanogaster.
Replacing the D. melanogaster allele with D. mauritiana's C(3)G resulted in increased centromere-proximal crossovers.
The study demonstrates that a single gene can significantly influence species-specific crossover patterns.
Findings suggest that the synaptonemal complex is a key factor in determining recombination landscapes.

Hughes et al. (2025) studied this question.
