摘要
In many organisms, recombination rates differ between the two sexes. Here we show that in mice, this is because of a shorter genomic interference distance in females than in males, measured in Mb. However, the interference distance is the same in terms of bivalent length. We propose a model in which the interference distance in the two sexes reflects; the compaction of chromosomes at the pachytene stage of meiosis.
