Meiotic recombination is driver of genome evolution. It is important to explore the rule of genome evolution under the control of evolutionary pressure linked to recombination. The coding information quantity of a genome (CIQ) always grows during evolution. Recombination rate is proportional to selection efficiency, thus the growing rate of coding information quantity of a genome (GR_CIQ) might be mediated by recombination rate. In this study, a parameter is defined to characterize GR_CIQ, and the correlation between GR_CIQ and recombination rate is analyzed in the human genome. The results show that there is a positive correlation between them, indicating recombination is likely to be an important pathway to increase GR_CIQ.
