Figure 2. Distribution of Mu-flanking sequences, recombination, and genic similarity along the chromosomes. Genetic similarity is defined here as the ratio between the count of shared overgo positives to inbred-specific overgo positives (see also Fig. S-1). The number of shared and inbred-specific overgo positives was counted in each of 10 bins, defined by physical size, along the maize chromosomes. The percentages of total recombination (cM) and the percentages of the total number of Mu-flanking sequences per chromosome were tallied in the physical distance bins.
