Organism Mouse Mus musculus

Method For value of 1.23 in chrom. 1 (see comments): The entirety of mouse chromosome 1 (Chr 1) was examined at ~7 Mb resolution, which ensured the detection of virtually all crossovers taking into account the strong positive interference in mouse recombination.
Comments Value of 1.3 is from Primary source. For value of 1.23 in chromosome 1 of mouse see Ref p.540 left column top paragraph
