Figure 5. Meiotic Recombination in Atmus81 and Atmsh4 Mutants.

(A) Characterization of the meiotic recombination phenotype using intervals on Chromosomes 1 (left) and 3 (right). Green bars represent pooled data from wild type and heterozygotes, orange bars represent Atmus81 mutants, blue bars represent Atmsh4 mutants, and purple bars represent Atmus81/Atmsh4 double mutants. Error bars are +/− the standard error of the mean.

(B) Interference analysis of the Atmus81 mutant using three linked markers on Chromosome 5. Each pair of graphs (wild type and heterozygotes top; Atmus81 bottom) shows the genetic distances of an interval without and with an adjacent CO. The ratios of these genetic distances with adjacent CO: without a CO were significantly different between the pooled wt/heterozygotes and Atmus81 mutants with a one-tailed p-value of 0.032 (see Materials and Methods for calculation of the p-value).
