Inferring genome-wide recombination landscapes from advanced intercross lines: application to yeast crosses.

Accurate estimates of recombination rates are of great importance for understanding evolution. In an experimental genetic cross, recombination breaks apart and rejoins genetic material, such that the genomes of the resulting isolates are comprised of distinct blocks of differing parental origin. We...
