Recombination suppression, gene content, and chromatin configuration of the Phodopus X chromosome. (A) Recombination events are predominantly localized to a single arm of the X chromosome, which results in (B) an arm-specific map compression due to suppressed recombination. (C) Genes with complete gene models (blue) and putative pseudogenes with only expressed transcript support (gray) are distributed uniformly across the chromosome, despite the varying recombination levels. (D) Hi-C chromatin interaction plot, showing short- and long-range interactions between points on the X chromosome with a 250 Kbp resolution and a square root coverage normalization.
