Genome-wide recombination rates in vervet monkeys. (a) Broad-scale recombination rates (averaged over 1-Mb regions). Autosomes are represented in alternating colors. (b) Fine-scale recombination rates for vervet (purple) along chromosome 11 and, for comparison, its primary homologous chromosome in human (i.e., chromosome 12; green). Human rates were taken from the population-averaged genetic map generated by the HapMap Project (International HapMap Consortium 2007). (c) As for (b) but on the broad-scale (averaged over 1-Mb regions).
