PRDM9 Alleles Guide Distinct Patterns of Recombination Localization in Atlantic Salmon
Meiotic recombination in many vertebrate lineages is directed to genomic regions by the DNA-binding protein PRDM9. To date, PRDM9 research has focused primarily on mammals, and its role in recombination localization has only recently been established in salmonids. PRDM9 binding specificity is determined by a tandemly r...
