Abstract excerpt
Obtaining an accurate measure of how recombination rates vary across the genome has implications for understanding the molecular basis of recombination, its evolutionary significance and the distribution of linkage disequilibrium in natural populations. Although measuring the recombination rate is experimentally challenging, good estimates can be obtained by applying population-genetic methods to DNA sequences...
