Additional file 7: Figure S5. of Genetic properties of the MAGIC maize population: a new platform for high definition QTL mapping in Zea mays

Detail of the local LD decay distribution along each chromosome. The 25th percentile (blue line) and 75th percentile (red line) of the LD distribution within ±1 Mb each marker is shown. Centromere positions are marked with black triangles. The r2 quantiles for each marker-based window are averaged in sliding windows of 100 markers in size. Some deviations between the general shape of the two distributions are evident, notably in Chr 2 and Chr 6. (PDF 12383 kb)
