The rise and fall of a human recombination hot spot

Alec Jeffreys and Rita Neumann identify a polymorphic recombination hot spot that was activated by a single base change roughly 70,000 years ago and has persisted in the human population despite its systematic elimination by biased gene conversion. The work provides the first example of a highly transient recombination hot spot in the human population.

PRDM9 variation strongly influences recombination hot-spot activity and meiotic instability in humans

Alec Jeffreys and colleagues report that variation at PRDM9 in humans influences sperm recombination hotspot activity, independent of a consensus binding motif, as well as meiotic genome instability.
