A pedigree-based map of crossovers and non-crossovers in aye-ayes (<i>Daubentonia madagascariensis</i>).

ABSTRACT: Gaining a better understanding of rates and patterns of meiotic recombination is crucial for improving evolutionary genomic modelling, with applications ranging from demographic to selective inference. Although previous research has provided important insights into the landscape of crossovers in humans and other haplorrhines, our understanding of both the considerably more common outcome of recombination (i.e., non-crossovers) as well as the landscapes in more distantly-related primates (i.e., strepsirrhines) remains limited owing to difficulties associated with both the identification of non-crossover tracts as well as species sampling. Thus, in order to elucidate recombination patterns in this under-studied branch of the primate clade, we here characterize crossover and non-crossover lan
