Descriptors of CO patterns: Coefficient of Coincidence (CoC) and Event Distribution (ED).

(A) Determination of CoC. Interval sizes can be identical or different (Figure S1 for more details). (B,C) Data sets were generated by BF simulations at the indicated varying values of parameter (L), also called L_BF. Other specified parameter values for the simulations are: Smax = 3.5, A = 1, cL = cR = 0.85, N = 13, B = 1, E = 0, M = 1. (B) CoC curves. Inter-interval distances given as fractions of total physical chromosome length in µm. The inter-interval distance at which CoC = 0.5 (vertical arrows) is defined as L_CoC. L_CoC and L_BF are always quite similar in magnitude. (C) EDs. Fraction of bivalents exhibiting different numbers of COs and average values.
