Data from: Sex-specific recombination landscape in a species with holocentric chromosomes

Male and female meiosis typically exhibit significant differences in crossover locations along chromosomes. It has been suggested that higher recombination rates at chromosome centers in females counteract centromere-associated meiotic drivers, increasing their chances of segregating into the oocyte rather than to the non-viable polar bodies. Our research, employing the first sex-specific recombination map for an organism lacking defined centromeres revealed parallel recombination landscapes across the sexes, supporting the meiotic drive hypothesis.
