Readme for RecSeq_files_for_Callender_et_al_2016 The folder 'genotype_files' contains the genotype information for the 20 wild type tetrads, the 12 dmc1d hed1d mutant tetrads and the 12 dmc1d hed1-3A mutant tetrads. File format is as required for use with the CrossOver program. The folder 'recombination_analysis' contains 3 subfolders (one for each strain background), each containing the output of CrossOver (v6.3) program (from the ReCombine suite of programs [Anderson et al., 2011]) run with a 0 kb threshold and the output of the groupEvents (v12) program [Oke et al., 2014]. The CrossOver program takes the genotype files as input, and the groupEvents program takes the output of the CrossOver program as input. Both the CrossOver and the groupEvents output tables have been manually verified and corrected when events were misclassified. The data in the paper corresponds to the output of the groupEvents program.
