An interactive visualization showing three scales of recombination: (1) intergenic recombination between genes on a chromosome, (2) intragenic recombination within a gene between mutation sites, and (3) gene conversion as a nonreciprocal event. Users click tabs to zoom between scales. Color-coded segments show parental vs. recombinant DNA, with animated crossover events.
