Extended Data Fig. 3: Variation of recombination maps with GC content.
The GC content is computed on the same overlapping 3 Mb windows as the maps, split into deciles and the average map values computed for the windows that fall into each decile. All maps except ΔDSB are normalized individually with respect to their genome-wide mean. The x-coordinate in the figures shows the median GC content in each decile, shifted slightly in opposite directions for paternal/maternal meioses so that errors bars don’t overlap for nearby points. The error bars indicate 95% confidence intervals and are computed by bootstrap sampling the map values 1000 times from the set of windows within each decile.
