Figure 2

Sex-specific 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. The female map of population 1 is shown in blue, and the male map of population 1 is shown in red. The female map of population 2 is shown in purple, and the male map of population 2 is shown in green. On the x-axis, the genomic position is given in million basepairs. 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.
