Comparison of the Haplotype Block Densities between Syntenic Regions of Rat, Mouse, and Human (Same Genome Segments as Shown in Figure 1)

<p>The scatter plots show log₁₀ of the amount of haplotype blocks per 100-kb bin in rat (horizontal) against log₁₀ of the amount of haplotype blocks seen in syntenic region of mouse (A) and human (B) genome (vertical). Data points for gene-containing and intergenic genomic bins are shown as closed and open blocks, respectively. Observed correlations of haplotype block densities are significant in linear (<i>r</i> = +0.5530; <i>p</i> < 0.0001 [A] and <i>r</i> = +0.4563; <i>p</i> = 0.0005 [B]) as well as in log-transformed space (<i>r</i> = +0.6795; <i>p</i> < 0.0001 [A] and <i>r</i> = +0.3209; <i>p</i> = 0.0180 [B]).
