The huge quantity of human genotyping data in pedigrees now provides an alternative means to study sex-specific patterns of recombination. In this study, we have exploited the large quantity of available data to construct sex-specific genetic maps that begin to approach the resolution of LD-based sex-averaged maps. Our fine-scale map of recombination highlights that a substantial fraction of the human genome recombines at different rates in females and males, and these differences are largely attributable to the fine scale. At this scale, our sex-specific maps reveal two consistent dimorphic patterns, first that THE1B elements are more recombinogenic in males and second, that female recombination drives an elevation of recombination in the promoter region of genes. As our maps are mainly representative of Europeans, it remains to be determined if these dimorphic patterns are found in other populations. Given the fundamental role of recombination in evolution, the observed dimorphism may have implications for understanding the role of recombination in shaping patterns of human genetic diversity. As more data is collected, it will become possible to not only build maps partitioned by sex, but also in terms of other factors known to influence recombination, including both genetic and environmental factors (such as parental age).
