Information about crossover and mutation functions are here:
Overall outline of GA:
http://www.mathworks.com/help/gads/how-the-genetic-algorithm-works.html
Examples with more detail:

Details of mutation functions and custom mutation functions:

Details of crossover:

As far as I know, this is all the documentation we have on the subject.
If, after reviewing this material, you have a more specific question,
feel free to ask again.
