Late replicating domains are highly recombining in females but have low male recombination rates: implications for isochore evolution.

In mammals sequences that are either late replicating or highly recombining have high rates of evolution at putatively neutral sites. As early replicating domains and highly recombining domains both tend to be GC rich we a priori expect these two variables to covary. If so, the relative contribution...
