Figure 1

Fitted and observed values of LD versus physical distance (bp), for the macrochromosomes (black) and microchromosomes (red). Observed values for r² are in thick lines (lowess fit through averages over a sliding window), Fitted values using the Sved equation [21] are thin continuous lines, and observed values for D' are in hatched lines (lowess fit through averages over a sliding window).
