Comparison of BREC versus FlyBase recombination rate recombination rates along the five chromosomal arms (X, 2L, 2R, 3L, 3R) of D. melanogaster Release 5. Both recombination maps are obtained using the same regression model: Loess with span 15%. The HCB defined by BREC are represented in red and the reference data are in blue. Heterochromatin regions identified by BREC are highlighted in yellow
