Prdm9 controls activation of mammalian recombination hotspots.

Science (New York, N.Y.) - 12 Feb 2010

Parvanov Emil D, Petkov Petko M, Paigen Kenneth

Abstract excerpt

Mammalian meiotic recombination, which preferentially occurs at specialized sites called hotspots, ensures the orderly segregation of meiotic chromosomes and creates genetic variation among offspring. A locus on mouse chromosome 17, which controls activation of recombination at multiple distant h...
