From DNA damage to mutations: All roads lead to aging
2021, Ageing Research ReviewsCitation Excerpt :This explains why DNA repair is such a highly conserved system and shared by all organisms we know. It has been argued that the oldest form of DNA repair is recombinational repair, hypothesized to have arisen as a form of sexual reproduction and then coopted to remove DNA damage through exchange with a partner generating a genetically altered individual (Bernstein et al., 1987). Indeed, RecA recombinase was already present in LUCA (Aravind et al., 1999).
Sex in microbial pathogens
2018, Infection, Genetics and EvolutionCitation Excerpt :We consider that the meiosis/syngamy sexual cycle in multicellular plants and animals is adaptively maintained by the benefit of recombinational DNA repair, as it appears to be in microbial pathogens. In multicellular plants and animals, the outcrossing aspect of sex is promoted by the benefit of masking the expression of deleterious recessive alleles (complementation), a benefit that can also be thought of as the avoidance of inbreeding depression (Bernstein et al., 1987; Charlesworth and Willis, 2009). This is not to say, however, that the avoidance of Muller's ratchet or the reduction of linkage disequilibrium among negatively epistatic loci are not additional benefits of the crossing over that occurs during molecular recombination in the sexual cycle.
