Imprinted Chromosomal Regions of the Human Genome Have Unusually High Recombination Rates
1 Nov 2003
Abstract excerpt
WHILE considerable attention has been given to the problem of the evolution of recombination rates (for review see Otto and Lenormand 2002), a related problem is relatively little studied: Why is it that in many species the recombination rates in males and females are different (for review see Korol et al. 1994)? In humans, for example, the recombination rate is, on the average, higher in females than in males...
