Modeling Recombination Rate as a Quantitative Trait Reveals New Insight into Selection in Humans.

Abstract excerpt

Meiotic recombination is both a fundamental biological process required for proper chromosomal segregation during meiosis and an important genomic parameter that shapes major features of the genomic landscape. However, despite the central importance of this phenotype, we lack a clear understanding of the selective pressures that shape its variation in natural populations, including humans. While there is strong...
