Crossovers from B6xCAST F1 PRDM9-Humanized/CAST testes
We report 2,649 crossover breakpoints identified by single-cell DNA sequencing of 217 sperm in a B6xCAST F1 mouse, which is heterozygous at Prdm9, with one wild-type CAST allele and one allele found in human populations (bred from a genetically engineered mother, Davies et al Nature 2012). Separately, we have reported testis DMC1 enrichment in the same mouse (GSE124991). We also infer H3K4me3 intensities at DMC1 hotspots, based on the raw H3K4me3 ChIP-seq data published under GSE119727 (Li et al).    We identify several factors, including PRDM9 binding on the repair-template homologue, telomere proximity and local GC-content, that affect the probability that a DSB is repaired as a crossover. We further show that these factors also influence the time it takes for the site of a DSB to find and engage its homologue, with rapidly-engaging sites being more likely to be repaired as crossovers. Overall design: Identification of crossover breakpoints in the sperm of a (C57BL/6J x CAST/Eij)F1 PRDM9-Humanized/CAST mouse
