Figure 10. Recombination events within genic sequences in the D. melanogaster genome.

Analyses based on 1,909 and 3,701 CO and GC events delimited by 500 bp or less (CO₅₀₀ and GC₅₀₀). (A) Frequency of recombination events (CO or GC) within genic sequences. Probability [P (Freq. Observed<Freq. Expected) based on 100,000 replicates of the observed number of recombination events distributed across the D. melanogaster reference genome taking into account differences in marker density between genic and intergenic regions. The expected frequency of a recombination event to be located within a genic sequence is 0.607 when taking into account the influence that maker density plays in detecting CO or GC events delimited by markers separated by 500 bp or less. The genomic location of genic sequences was obtained from the D. melanogaster genome annotation (release 5.3) (B) Relative position of 2,627 GC₅₀₀ events along transcripts, shown in 10 intervals from 0 at the transcription start site (TSS) to 1 at the end of the transcript. The frequency of GC₅₀₀ along the transcript is shown with 95% confidence intervals.
