Germline DNA replication shapes the recombination landscape in mammals
2020-09-23
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Summary:</h4> Genetic recombination generates novel trait combinations and understanding how recombination is distributed across the genome is key to modern genetics. The PRDM9 protein defines recombination hotspots, however megabase-scale recombination patterning is independent of PRDM9. The single round of DNA replication, which precedes recombination in meiosis, may establish these patterns, therefore we d...
