Figure 6.

Recombination hotspot. The top shows the 9 kb haplotype context of the repetitive region of the KIR3DP1-KIR2DL4 intergene region, whose self-alignment is shown in the bottom half. Red lines indicate alignment of the haplotype with itself in the same orientation, and blue lines indicate reverse complement orientation. The location of the repetitive elements is at the bottom, with red and blue again indicating orientation. The yellow boxes highlight three AluSx and one AluSq elements that align with each other, two in each direction.
