Meiotic recombination facilitates the transmission of exchanged genetic material between homologous chromosomes and plays a crucial role in increasing the genetic variations in eukaryotic organisms. In humans, thousands of crossover events have been identified by genotyping related family members. However, most of these crossover regions span tens to hundreds of kb, which is not sufficient resolution to accurately identify the crossover breakpoints in a typical trio family.
