Table 1 Nucleotide diversity of the minisatellite coding for the PRDM9-ZnF array, analyzed per sample region. Average pairwise nucleotide diversity was analyzed for all sites, and also excluding the nucleotides coding for amino-acids at hypervariable sites (− 1, + 3, + 6) in the alpha-helix of ZnFs
