Sex-specific recombination maps of 62 loci for Ammarnäs and Tvedöra. Each group is labeled according to the corresponding X. tropicalis chromosome; units are given in Kosambi cM. (a) LG2 and LG7 (corresponding to Xt1 and Xt2) co-segregate in males from Ammarnäs, but not in Tvedöra (maps based on all 12 families). Dashed lines indicate absence of physical fusion and independent segregation in females. (b) All other linkage groups show similar patterns in the two populations (maps based on one family from Ammarnäs and six from Tvedöra). Dashed lines in group Xt 7A indicate that Bfg203 and Bfg238 are otherwise known to belong to the same linkage group, even though they were not significantly linked in the present study.
