Figure 1

Sex-average recombination rate for populations 1 and 2. Recombination rate was calculated for 500 kb nonoverlapping bins, and plotted using a sliding window of eight bins. Population 1 is shown in red and population 2 is shown in blue. On the x-axis, the genomic position is given in million base pairs. On the y-axis, the recombination rate is given in cM/Mb. If known, the position of the centromer is indicated by a solid black line. GGA16, GGA21--GGA28, LGE22, and LGE64 were not included in this figure, because the graphs of these 11 small chromosomes were uninformative. Note that the scale of the y-axis of GGA1 is twice as high as for the other chromosomes.
