Figure 6.

Decay of linkage disequilibrium over 900 sites, as a function of distance between two sites as caused by mitotic gene conversion with high rates of sex ($\sigma \gg 1/N$). A total of 50 paired samples are taken from a population of size $N=10,000,$ scaled mutation rate $\theta =10,$ and mitotic gene conversion occurs with rate $\text{Γ}=20$ (with average gene conversion tract length $\lambda =100$ sites). Meiotic crossovers are either (A and B) absent or (C and D) present at rate $R=40.$ (A and C) Results from the facultative-sex coalescent simulation with different probabilities of sex. Colors are as shown in the legend; shaded bands are 95% confidence intervals. (B and D) Results from ms with 100 samples and the same gene conversion rate, with crossover probability $c_{eff}=c\sigma$ in (D). Note only one ms comparison is plotted in (B). Equivalent results with $\text{Γ}=2$ are shown in Figure F in File S2. $r^2$ is shown for distances between 25 and 875 sites apart.
