Fig. 5 — Here, we compare then inferred recombination rates when using different prior distributions that differed from the distributions from which the rates for simulations were sampled. The rates for simulations were sampled from a log-normal distribution with μ = −11.12 and σ = 0.5. In A, we show the inferred rates when using a prior distribution with μ = −12.74 and σ = 0.5 (leading to a 5 times lower mean in real space than the correct prior). In B, we show the inferred rates when using a prior distribution with μ = −12.74 and σ = 2. In C, we show the inferred rates when using the same prior distribution as was sampled under. In D, we show the inferred rates when using a prior distribution with μ = −9.72 and σ = 2. In E, we show the inferred rates when using a prior distribution with μ = −9.72 and σ = 0.5 (leading to 5 times higher mean in real space than the correct prior). F shows the corresponding density plots for all log-normal distributions used as prior distributions on the recombination rates.
