Average recombination rates for demography simulations.

Here, “Control” refers to a neutral model with constant population size. Model B2 involved a very recent bottleneck, and we observed a reduction in diversity by about a factor of relative to the Control model. This reduction in diversity partly explains the particularly poor estimates of the recombination rate for model B2. The estimates for the other models are reasonably accurate, although they are clearly nosier compared to that for the Control model. See Simulation study on the impact of demographic history for the details of the models. For each recombination landscape, the median estimated average recombination rate is shown in the left column (“est. ”) and the percent error is shown in the right (“% err. ”). The true average recombination rate for each recombination landscape is shown in parenthesis.
