|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1.76 (0.69, 4.51) | 3.04 | 0 | 1E/1F; λ = 5.7 |

| 3 | 0.63 (0.19, 1.88) | 1.31 | 0 | None |

↵a The median value (of 1000 iterations) of ρ as estimated by the method of Li and Stephens (2003) × 10−4; the 90% C.I. reports the 5th and 95th percentiles of the sampled values of ρ.
↵b ρ as estimated by the method of Hudson (2001) × 10−4.
↵c The ratio of gene conversion to recombination as estimated by the method of Hudson (2001), assuming a tract length of 300 bp.
↵d Intervals (within or between subregions) for which the rate of recombination is higher than the background rate for this region; λ is the ratio of ρ for this interval to ρ for the region as a whole (see text).
↵e See text for a discussion of these results for region 2.
