MEIOTIC RECOMBINATION HOTSPOTS
Abstract
Meiotic recombination occurs more frequently in some regions of the eukaryotic genome than in others, with variations of several orders of magnitude observed in frequencies of meiotic exchange per unit physical distance. This article reviews what is known abut meiotic recombination hotspots loci, or regions that display a greater than average frequency of meiotic exchange. Hotspots have been most intensively studied in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which is a major focus of this article. Also reviewed is the current state of knowledge regarding hotspots in other fungi, in maize, in nematodes, in mice, and in humans.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
