Primes¶
- Interleaving
- Genetics (non-obvious): Exon/intron arrangement and recombination interleave discrete segments so that recombination shuffles modular units rather than copying a long contiguous run, which both limits the reach of any single error and increases the combinatorial variety available to selection.
This sourceCoins "exon/intron" and argues that the interrupted, modular arrangement of genes lets recombination shuffle discrete segments rather than copy long contiguous runs, limiting the reach of any single error and increasing the combinatorial variety available to selection.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
