Allelic recombination and de novo deletions in sperm in the human beta-globin gene region.

Abstract excerpt

Meiotic recombination is of fundamental importance in creating haplotype diversity in the human genome and has the potential to cause genomic rearrangements by ectopic recombination between repeat sequences and through other changes triggered by recombination-initiating events. However, the relationship between allelic recombination and genome instability in the human germline remains unclear. We have therefore...
