Correction to: Nature Reviews Genetics https://doi.org/10.1038/s41576-021-00376-2, published online 23 June 2021.
In the text, the following sentences have been corrected both in the HTML and PDF versions of the article due to errors in values or wording:
“Studies that directly map de novo recombination events and point mutations helped resolve the controversy and demonstrated that the density of nucleotide changes within a 1-kb window around a recombination event is 5–50 fold higher than the genome average70,71 (Fig. 3b).”
“The discovery of the effect of paternal age on mutation rate predates the discovery of DNA structure.”
“Overall, these studies suggest that a measurable effect of recombination induces less than 1% of all mutations genome-wide.”
