HOTSPOT DRIVERS OF DIVERSITY. “Meiosis is a potentially important source of germline mutations, as sites of meiotic recombination experience recurrent double-strand breaks (DSBs). Meiotic recombination, localized in recombination hotspots, not only increases genetic diversity via the formation of new haplotypes but is also an important driver of sequence evolution.”
