During meiosis, the recombination-initiating DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are repaired by crossovers or noncrossovers (gene conversions). While crossovers are easily detectable, the noncrossover identification is hampered by the small size of their converted tracts and the necessity of sequence polymorphism to detect them. We report identification and characterization of a mouse chromosome-wide set of noncrossovers by NGS sequencing of 10 mouse chromosome substitution strains. Based on 94 identified noncrossovers we determined the mean length of a conversion tract to be 32 basepairs. The spatial chromosome-wide distribution of noncrossovers and crossovers significantly differed, though both sets overlapped the known hotspots of PRDM9-directed histone methylation and DNA DSBs, thus proving their origin in the standard DSB repair pathway. A significant deficit of noncrossovers descending from asymmetric DSBs pointed to sister chromatids as an alternative template for their repair. The finding has implications for the molecular mechanism of hybrid sterility in mice.

"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.
