Extended Data Fig. 1: Associations between estimated nucleotide diversity and recombination, and between decay in linkage disequilibrium and genomic distance.
From: Genetic population structure of Haemophilus influenzae at local and global scales
Panel A: Log-scaled hexagon-density scatter plot of the estimated per-gene nucleotide diversity (π), versus the number of recombination events inferred per-gene. Hexagon colours indicate the number of scatter plot points (log-scaled) present within each hexagon. Panel B: The estimated rate of decay in linkage disequilibrium (LD) for the H. influenzae Maela cohort, compared with estimated rates for the four species with LD decay functions fitted in the reference. 14. The shown curves correspond to gradients of the LD decay function, with smaller values indicating faster decoupling of SNPs as a function of distance in base pairs.
