Figure 1
A typical genomic region surrounding a focal AluY element. Estimates of the recombination rate parameter ρ (log10 scale) are shown for the eleven inter-SNP intervals. The sixth ρ -estimate (labeled ρAlu) is for the interval containing the AluY, which has the highest recombination rate in this particular region. The positions of the 12 SNPs chosen for analysis are shown relative to the center of the AluY; other SNPs in the region are indicated by small tick marks. This region spans ~45 kb on chromosome 7, centered on the AluY at 32,081,567 bp (UCSC hg18; [35]).
