TABLE 1.

Tiny example dataset

Meiosis Lengths
1 30 47 23
2 100
3 45 55
4 12 38 27 13 10

In this data set, the second meiosis had no crossovers at all. The third meiosis had only one crossover that occurred at not quite half the length of the chromosome. The first meiosis had two crossovers with a relative intercrossover distance of 47% of the length of the chromosome. The lengths to the ends of the chromosome were 30 and 23% of the total length. The fourth meiosis had four crossovers with intercrossover distances of 38, 27, and 13% of the total length and lengths to the ends that were 12 and 10% of the total.
