Figure 3: Linkage groups representing putative chromosomes for the female-aligned (A) and male-aligned (B) linkage maps
The vertical axis on the left-hand side of the figure indicates the cM size of each linkage group, and the black horizontal lines in each linkage group depict the positions of SNPs used to construct the maps. The background colour of each linkage group shows recombination density; regions of higher density (exhibiting greater linkage) are indicated by warm colours, and regions with lower density are represented by cooler colours. Note that the female-aligned linkage groups 10 and 11 are labelled in reverse order from the equivalent male-aligned linkage groups, indicated by the arrows. Chromosomes in the genome assemblies are numbered from largest to smallest, and the assembled size of chromosomes 10 and 11 differ between the sexes.
