Analysis of biological features associated with meiotic recombination hot and cold spots in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Meiotic recombination is not distributed uniformly throughout the genome. There are regions of high and low recombination rates called hot and cold spots, respectively. The recombination rate parallels the frequency of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) that initiate meiotic recombination. The aim is t...
