Chromosome 15 comparisons between 129S1/SvImJ, C3H/HeJ and BALB/cByJ with C57BL/6J reveal regions of low SNP rate (
0.5 SNPs per 10 kb, blue) and regions of high SNP rate (45 SNPs per 10 kb, red). Half of the genome is contained in segments (low or high) of greater than 2 Mb in length. Low-SNP-rate regions define roughly two-thirds of each genome comparison.
