Figure 7.—

Density of recombination hotspots around human tandem repeats. The length between each pair of adjacent recombination hotspots was normalized to “1.0” and plotted on the x-axis, and the relative positions of tandem repeats along this distance are summarized on the y-axis. (A) The relative positions of slTRs and mlTRs between all adjacent pairs of recombinational hotspots in the human genome are shown; (B) analogous data for tandem repeats with comparatively shorter periods of 1–10 bp.
