Abstract excerpt
During analysis of 148 unselected Neurospora crassa octads, an above average rate of crossing over was detected within a 360-base region near the 3' end of his-3, suggesting a hotspot for crossing over about 1.8 kb away from the recombination initiation site within cog. Homozygous deletion of the 360-base region increases exchanges in his-3 and on the far side of his-3 from cog, with the heterozygote showing an...
