A Comprehensive Search for Recombinogenic Motifs in the Human Genome

PLOS ONE, 2013, vol. 8, issue 4, 1-8

Abstract: The patterns of male and female recombination vary greatly on a macro scale. A unique motif in each gender, triggering a double strand break at its location, much in the way Chi sites operate in E. coli, could logically explain this difference. As such, we have undertaken a comprehensive search of all small motifs in an attempt to identify one or more that match to the available data. In the end, we conclude that no such motifs appear to exist in the human genome.
