Drive against hotspot motifs in primates implicates the PRDM9 gene in meiotic recombination by Myers, Simon, Bowden, Rory, Tumian, Afidalina, Bontrop, Ronald E, Freeman, Colin, MacFie, Tammie S., McVean, Gil, Donnelly, Peter

“…We report that a 13-base pair sequence motif previously associated with the activity of 40% of human hotspots does not function in chimpanzees and is being removed by self-destructive drive in the human lineage. Multiple lines of evidence suggest that the rapidly evolving zinc-finger protein PRDM9 binds to this motif and that sequence changes in the protein may be responsible for hotspot differences between species. …”
