Abstract

Various classifications and representations of multilocus recombination structures are delimited. A class of recombination distributions called the count–location chiasma process is parametrized by a distribution of the number of crossover events and for such crossover events by a conditional distribution of crossover locations. A number of properties and examples of this recombination structure are developed connecting orderings among the recombination mapping functions and the nature of interference.
