Ian Henderson and colleagues report fine-scale mapping and characterization of recombination rates in Arabidopsis thaliana. They find an enrichment of recombination hot spots overlapping transcription start and termination sites, as well as that hot spot–associated promoter regions show elevated levels of chromatin marks, including high H2A.Z, high H3K4me3 and low nucleosome density.
