Show abstract
Meiotic recombination frequency varies along chromosomes and strongly correlates with sequence divergence. However, the causality underlying this correlation is unclear. To untangle the relationship between recombination landscapes and polymorphisms, we characterized the genome-wide recombination landscape in the absence of polymorphisms, using Arabidopsis thaliana homozygous inbred lines in which a few hundred genetic markers were introduced through mutagenesis. We found that megabase-scale recombination landscapes in inbred lines are strikingly similar to the recombination landscapes in hybrids, with the sole exception of heterozygous large rearrangements where recombination is prevented locally. In addition, we found that the megabase-scale recombination landscape can be accurately predicted by chromatin features. Our results show that polymorphisms are not causal for the shape of the megabase-scale recombination landscape, rather, favor alternative models in which recombination and chromatin shape sequence divergence across the genome.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
