a

γ and ρ denote the true values of the gene-conversion and crossing-over rates under which 1000 data sets were simulated.

b

g(γ) and g(ρ) denote the fraction of the data sets for which the estimates of gene conversion (Inline graphic) and crossing over (Inline graphic) lie within a factor of 2 of the true values (i.e., γ and ρ), respectively.

c

B(γ) and B(ρ) denote the fraction of times the estimates of gene conversion and crossing over are lower than the true values, given that they are not equal to the true values.

d

E(Inline graphic) and E(Inline graphic) denote the mean of the estimates of gene-conversion and crossing-over rates.

e

V(γ) and V(ρ) denote the root mean square relative error for the estimates.
