HUMHOT -- a database of human meiotic recombination hot spots
What you can do:
Search for meiotic recombination spots in human genome.
Highlights:
- Meiotic recombination occurs preferentially at certain regions in the genome referred to as hot spots.
- HUMHOT is a web-based database of Human Meiotic Recombination Hot Spots. The database comprises DNA sequences corresponding to the hot spot regions from the literature that have been mapped to a high resolution (<4 kb) in humans.
- It also provides flanking sequence information for the hot spot region along with references describing the hot spot. The database can be queried based on hot spot identity, chromosome position or by homology to user-defined sequences.
- It is also updated with new hot spot sequences as they are discovered and provides hyperlinks to commonly used tools for estimating recombination rates, performing genetic analysis and new advances in our understanding of meiotic hot spots.
