The paper identifies Prdm9 alleles in wild mice that cause hybrid sterility when combined with specific alleles from other populations.

The paper identifies novel Prdm9 alleles in wild mice and shows their association with fertility and sterility in hybrid males, supporting oligogenic control of hybrid sterility.

The paper identifies and characterizes noncrossovers in mice using NGS sequencing, finding they differ in distribution from crossovers and suggest sister chromatid repair.

The paper reduces the Hstx2 locus to a 2.70 Mb interval, identifies it as a recombination cold spot, and finds a copy number polymorphism of the Mir465 microRNA cluster.

The paper generates high-resolution genetic maps of mouse inbred strains and identifies genetic variations and gene conversions.
