Recombination hotspots in Neurospora crassa controlled by idiomorphic sequences and meiotic silencing.

Genes regulating recombination in specific chromosomal intervals of Neurospora crassa were described in the 1960s, but the mechanism is still unknown. For each of the rec-1, rec-2, and rec-3 genes, a single copy of the putative dominant allele, for example, rec-2SL found in St Lawrence OR74 A wild type, reduces recombination in chromosomal regions specific to that gene. However, when we sequenced the recessive allele, rec-2LG (derived from the Lindegren 1A wild type), we found that a 10 kb region in rec-2SL strains was replaced by a 2.
