Diet effects on recombination rates. (A) Diet effects on recombination rates are strain-dependent: only C57BL/6 mice show significant differences in recombination rates when fed with maintenance vs breeding diets in two independent experiments (here are depicted the results of the second one, see Table  3). Each dot represents the focus count of a single nucleus. Black bars represent means ± SEM. (B) Spermatocyte distribution according to the total number of MLH1 foci per nucleus in C57BL/6 males subject to maintenance and breeding diets.
