Meiotic crossover hotspots contained in haplotype block boundaries of the mouse genome.

Abstract excerpt

Fertility requires successful chromosome segregation in meiosis, which in most sexual organisms depends on the formation of appropriately placed crossovers. The nonrandom genome-wide distributions of meiotic recombination events have been examined at the molecular level experimentally in yeast and by inference from linkage disequilibrium patterns in humans. Thus far, no method has existed for pinpointing sites of...
