Causes and consequences of crossing-over evidenced via a high-resolution recombinational landscape of the honey bee

Table 1 Numbers of crossover and gene conversion events in each colony

	Colony	Crossover events (Track length)			Gene conversions
	Colony	>500 kb	>100 kb	>10 kb (cM/Mb)	≤10 kb
Drone	I	48.5	72.6	82.1 (37)	7.2
	II	52.8	74.1	85.0 (39)	4.7
	III	50.5	70.5	76.8 (35)	5.5
Workers^a	III	48.8	72.0	82.0 (37)	^b

^aSix workers come from colony III.
^bGene conversions in workers were not identified.
Blocks with span >10 kb are counted as crossovers and ≤10 kb are counted as gene conversions.
