Abstract excerpt
Human recombination maps are a valuable resource for association and linkage studies and crucial for many inferences of population history and natural selection. Existing maps1-5 are based solely on cross-over (CO) recombination, omitting non-cross-overs (NCOs)-the more common form of recombination6-owing to the difficulty in detecting them. Using whole-genome sequence data in families, we estimate the number of...
