Molecular basis:
Axelsson et al. (2012) provided evidence that the canine lineage has lost the gene PRDM9, which in other lineages plays a central role in initiating recombination, creating recombination "hotspots". Lacking this gene, the canine lineage has a "greater evolutionary stability of recombination hotspots".
Campbell et al. (2016) concluded that despite lacking PRDM9, "dogs have similar broad scale properties of recombination to humans, while fine-scale recombination is similar to other species lacking PRDM9."
