Using our method we are able to demonstrate that the recombination events that we infer from otherwise uninformative duos and trios can add power to association scans for recombination phenotypes. Specifically, at the established PRDM9 locus we are able to show that including these extra recombination events increases the signal of association for a hot spot usage phenotype. The field of study of recombination continues to be very active [47]. Future studies will look at recombination in isolated populations in sub-saharan Africa. Our method will allow GWAS of recombination phenotypes to be carried out in these populations, extracting as much information as possible from the data.
