(a) Inferred recombination distances and (b) average rates across genes and their flanking regions in the African-derived sample compared with the European-derived sample. We found a strong correlation between the estimated recombination properties in the two populations [(a) Spearman's ρ = 0.75, Kendall's τ = 0.59; and (b) Spearman's ρ = 0.66, Kendall's τ = 0.50, with p values less than 10-10 in all cases]. Note that in (b), the correlation still holds with the removal of the righthandmost point.
