Similarity in recombination rate estimates highly correlates with genetic differentiation in humans.

Similarity in recombination rate estimates highly correlates with genetic differentiation in humans.

Recombination varies greatly among species, as illustrated by the poor conservation of the recombination landscape between humans and chimpanzees. Thus, shorter evolutionary time frames are needed to understand the evolution of recombination. Here, we analyze its recent evolution in humans. We calcu...
