^a recombination rate (ρ) and mutation rate (Θ_W) per base
* P < 0.05 for at least two of three permutation tests implemented in LDhat package
** P < 0.001 for at least two of three permutation tests implemented in LDhat package
^# All three permutation tests suggested that recombination rate is not significantly different form 0.
