Abstract excerpt
Little is known about the fine-scale distribution of meiotic crossovers in human chromosomes. Methods have therefore been developed for detecting and mapping recombination products directly in human sperm DNA. Analysis of crossovers adjacent to the GC-rich minisatellite MS32, which is known to mutate by conversion and crossover within the repeat array, revealed an intense and highly localized recombination...
