Figure 5

Evenly distributed COs/NCOs among regions of different SNP density. We examined CO/NCO frequencies in regions of different SNP densities with 10-kb window size and found the numbers of loci of COs/NCOs in a recent study were not correlated with SNP densities. The blue and red dots are for 4,394 COs and 2,397 NCOs, respectively, reported in Mancera et al. [12]. The lack of significant correlation is indicated by the nearly horizontal green lines, with R square values of 0.01 and 0.04 for COs and NCOs, respectively. The slightly higher value for NCOs might suggest that low-SNP density regions could have a higher failure rate in detection of NCOs.
