Abstract excerpt
Meiotic recombination plays a key role in the maintenance of sequence diversity in the human genome. However, little is known about the fine-scale distribution and processes of recombination in human chromosomes, or how these impact on patterns of human diversity. We have therefore developed sperm typing systems that allow human recombination to be analysed at very high resolution. The emerging picture is that...
