Recombination hotspots are regions in a genome that exhibit elevated rates of recombination, relative to a neutral expectation. The peak recombination rate within hotspots can be hundreds or thousands of times that of the surrounding region. ref Jeffreys, A.J., Kauppi, L., & Neumann, R., Intensely punctate meiotic recombination in the class II region of the major histocompatibility complex. , Nature Genetics 29, 217 222 2001 ref The PRDM9 protein is suspected to be a cause of hotspots in mammals. All hotspots so far characterized share similar morphology and are approximately 1.5 to 2.0 base pair Length measurements kb in width, which suggests a common causal process. Furthermore, recent studies have used patterns in linkage disequilibrium to identify over 25,000 hotspots in the human genome , ref Myers S., Bottolo L., Freeman C., McVean G. and Donnelly P., A Fine Scale Map of Recombination Rates and Hotspots Across the Human Genome , Science, Vol. 310. no. 5746, pp. 321 324 2005 ref suggesting that hotspots are a ubiquitous feature of the genome.
