COGNATE MUTANTS. “Recombinational barriers imposed by the mismatch repair system are abrogated in cognate mutants. There is an appealing theory that such mutants play a key role in adaptation via recombination, and the mismatch repair genes themselves show a complex history of recombination attributed to loss and recovery (through horizontal transfer).”
