Population recombination rates inferred from linkage disequilibrium among SNPs using LDHAT in comparison with a genetic map [3].

<p>(A) Proportion of recombination as a function of the proportion of genome in which it occurs. (B) Variation in recombination rates along the large metacentric chromosome Group1 (LD map: solid black line; genetic map from [<a href="http://www.plosgenetics.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pgen.1005189#pgen.1005189.ref003" target="_blank">3</a>]: grey dashed line). The maps are transformed to the same resolution of 1 Mb windows. (C) Correlation between recombination rates in the LD-based map and genetic map from [<a href="http://www.plosgenetics.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pgen.1005189#pgen.1005189.ref003" target="_blank">3</a>] (R² = 0.341; p = 0.000424) across chromosome Group1 in windows of 1 Mb. (D) Correspondence between the two maps across the whole genome in windows of 1 Mb (R² = 0.213; p<10^-5).
