Recombination hotspots flank the Cryptococcus mating-type locus: implications for the evolution of a fungal sex chromosome.
Recombination increases dramatically during meiosis to promote genetic exchange and generate recombinant progeny. Interestingly, meiotic recombination is unevenly distributed throughout genomes, and, as a consequence, genetic and physical map distances do not have a simple linear relationship. Recom...
