The evolution of recombination hotspots and of their relationships with DNA sequences
This thesis attempts to address various aspects of the evolution of recombination hotspots, focusing on the impact of biased gene conversion (BGC) on DNA sequences. My analyses identify thousands of sites in the genome which were active hotspots millions of years ago, illuminate the rate of evolutio...
