The Effects of Biased Gene Conversion Are Stronger in High-Recombination Regions of the Genome

SNPs were divided into quintile (20%) bins based on recombination rates from the 2010 deCODE data set. Four population genetic statistics were calculated for each population and recombination bin: Tajima’s D, Fay and Wu’s H, mean derived allele frequency (DAF), and a measure of W→S DAF skew. For the first three of these statistics, values were calculated separately for WW or SS (gray), SW (blue), and WS (red) SNPs.
