In humans and other mammals, meiosis in females and males differs both in terms of timing and in the number of gametes produced. As an essential outcome of meiosis, recombination also differs substantially between the sexes. Genome wide, human female crossover rates are ∼1.6-fold greater than that of males12345. Sexual dimorphism in human recombination is not limited to simple changes to the overall recombination rate, but also includes differences in the distribution of recombination throughout the genome. Specifically, male autosomal recombination rates tend to be lower than female rates over the majority of the genome, but tend to be elevated towards to the telomeres125. While these broad-scale differences have been known for decades, the fine-scale differences in recombination between the sexes remain to be fully characterized.
