Correction to ‘Variation in recombination frequency and distribution across eukaryotes: patterns and processes’

Phil. Trans. R. Soc. B 372, 20160455 (Published Online 6 November 2017) (doi:10.1098/rstb.2016.0455)

In figure 2, three species of plants were assigned to the wrong taxonomic group and the icon above the group ‘superasterids’ was incorrect. The grouping of species into these taxonomic groups was only done to make figure 2 and has no influence on the results. Here we provide a corrected version of figure 2. The authors apologize for any inconvenience.

Figure 2.

Variation in the log of recombination rate, estimated by dividing linkage map length in centimorgans (cM) by genome size (Mb) across eukaryotic taxa. Other plants: Pteridophyta, Chlorophyta, Bryophyta. Other animals: Anthzoa, Holothuriodea, Ascidacae. unseg, unsegmented. (Online version in colour.)
