Fine-scale correlates of recombination in US-NAM. (A) Mean historical recombination rate within improved maize lines over 1,000 permutations of controls (blue histogram) compared with the mean historical recombination rate within hotspots (red line). (B) Ninety-five percent confidence interval for mean CpG methylation over 100 bins in 1,000 permutations of controls (red-shaded region) compared with the mean values in hotspots (red dots). Mean CHH methylation in hotspots compared with controls in non-TE intergenic regions (C) and TE bodies (D). (E) Mean G + C contents in 1,000 permutations of controls (blue histogram) compared with mean G + C contents within hotspots (red line). (F) Posterior densities for the proportion of intervals with evidence of bGC at varying levels of enrichment for cross-overs.
