Stable recombination hotspots in birds

2015-07-23

Abstract excerpt

Although the DNA-binding protein PRDM9 plays a critical role in the specification of meiotic recombination hotspots in mice and apes, it appears to be absent from many vertebrate species, including birds. To learn about the determinants of fine-scale recombination rates and their evolution in natural populations lacking PRDM9 , we inferred fine-scale recombination maps from population resequencing data for two bi...
