Table 1. BF parameters.

Precursor parameters
N Average number of precursors per bivalent
E Precursor distribution along chromosomes. 0 = random; 1 = even; 0< = E< = 1
B Precursor distribution among chromosomes 0 = Poisson; 1 = constant; 0< = B< = 1
s Distribution of precursor sensitivities to DDF (currently random)
Density Precursor density can be varied along the chromosome as desired
Patterning parameters
S (Smax) Designation driving force; increased in simulations to maximum level; usually S>1
L = LBF Distance over which interference signal spreads (total for both directions)
A Reactivity of precursor to local value of (s); (A 1 = s2; A2 = s; A3 = 5/s; A4 = 1/s)
c End effects on interference (cL and cR) 0 = unclamped; ≥1 = clamped
Other parameters
M Efficiency with which a CO-designated interaction matures to a detectable CO
