   Down the Penrose stairs, or how selection for fewer recombination hotspots maintains their existence

   Zachary Baker, Molly Przeworski, Guy Sella

   Modeling the evolution of PRDM9 in light of recent results implicating the importance of PRDM9 binding symmetry suggests the advantage of new PRMD9 alleles is in limiting the number of binding sites used effectively rather than increasing net binding.
