Analysis of Recombination Mapping Windows

(A) Expected location of average recombination event within mapping windows. In recombination mapping windows³⁰ the expectation is that, averaged across all windows, the position of the true recombination event will be in the center of the window on average.

(B) Competing predictions on the locations where hotspots will overlap recombination mapping windows. The hotspot model predicts that LD-defined hotspots would occur more frequently than expected by chance in the center of recombination windows. Our demographic model predicts that LD-defined hotspots will overlap disproportionately on the edges of recombination mapping windows.
