Figure 7From: A third-generation microsatellite-based linkage map of the honey bee, Apis mellifera, and its comparison with the sequence-based physical mapRecombination coldspots and hotspots. The ratio cM/Mb of every interval between consecutive markers within scaffolds was calculated and plotted on the ordinates as a function of the Kosambi cumulative genetic distance between markers on the abscissa. Gaps between scaffolds introduced discontinuities in the graphs. See also Additional data file 1, where yellow sections denote a ratio six times higher than that of the average in the genome (22.04 cM/Mb).Back to article page
