Figure 5. Sex-specific recombination rates around transcription start sites.

Figure 5

Average female (red) and male (blue) recombination rates in 1 kb bins around the transcription start sites (TSS) of a subset of 15,239 GENCODE genes randomly selected to be spaced from each other by 5 kb or more. The 95% confidence interval around the mean estimates of recombination rates are shown in shaded colours. (a) All TSS and (b) TSS partitioned according to the presence/absence of a PRDM9 degenerate 13-mer motif within 5 kb.
