Fig. 3From: The potential of shifting recombination hotspots to increase genetic gain in livestock breedingGenetic variance (a), genic variance (b) and genetic gain (c) against time when QTN were either randomly distributed or clustered. The figure shows where each chromosome was split into 500 regions of which 50 were recombination hotspots. The red lines show when recombination hotspots were kept constant and the blue lines show when they were shifted. The solid lines indicate when QTN were randomly distributed and the dashed lines indicate when the QTN were clusteredBack to article page
