Abstract Meiotic recombination, via the formation of crossovers (COs), re-assorts parental alleles and dictate which traits are inherited together, or not. The recombination rate is not homogeneous across the genome, and uncovering the causes of these fluctuations can inform our understanding of recombination and genome evolution. In this study we show that presence of sequence divergence (polymorphism) between homologous chromosomes can dictate where crossovers are formed in Arabidopsis thaliana.
