To calculate recombination events on a per meiosis basis from a per gamete frequency, the crossover frequency is multiplied by 2 and the noncrossover is multiplied by 4, given that crossovers modify 2 of 4 chromatids while noncrossovers modify 1 of 4 chromatids.
Confidence interval (CI) calculations here and in the text use the Wilson procedure with continuity correction.
Crossover and noncrossover frequency calculations are restricted to those samples used for noncrossover measurements, as shown in Supplementary Figure 1 and Supplementary Table 1, accounting for the small differences from that previously reported23.
Noncrossover frequency is derived from the B10.A chromosome only, which represents >95% of events23.
The crossover frequency is lower than that previously determined18, largely attributable to results from one of the animals in the current study.
Noncrossover frequency is derived from the DBA/2J chromosome only, which represents >80% of events as in Supplementary Fig. 2.
