Variation in estimated recombination rates across human populations.

Human genetics - 1 Nov 2007

Graffelman Jan, Balding David J, Gonzalez-Neira Anna, Bertranpetit Jaume

Abstract excerpt

Recently it has been reported that recombination hotspots appear to be highly variable between humans and chimpanzees, and there is evidence for between-person variability in hotspots, and evolutionary transience. To understand the nature of variation in human recombination rates, it is important to describe patterns of variability across populations. Direct measurement of recombination rates remains infeasible...
