F1 Mean MLH1 Foci Count - Midparent Mean MLH1 Foci Count
FIGURE S1.—Mean MLH1 foci count in intersubspecific F1 males most closely resembles the paternal parent phenotype. We
used a bootstrapping randomization procedure (see main text) to derive an empirical distribution of differences between the F1
mean MLH1 foci count and the midparent average MLH1 foci count. If F1 animals equally resemble both parents, this
distribution should be centered on 0. In contrast, if F1 animals are more similar to the parent with higher (lower) mean MLH1
foci count, this distribution will be shifted to the right (left). For PWDxWSB (maternal x paternal parent) F1 animals, the
distribution is clearly shifted left, indicating that the F1s more closely resemble the low recombination rate WSB paternal parent
(A). In the reciprocal F1 cross, WSBxPWD F1 animals have mean MLH1 foci counts that more closely resemble those in the high
recombination rate PWD paternal strain (B). The distribution for CASTxWSB F1s is shifted to the right, as predicted if the mean
MLH1 foci count in the F1s is more similar to the WSB paternal parent phenotype (C). The WSBxCAST F1s have a mean
MLH1 foci count that is roughly equidistant between that of the two parents (D). Again, CASTxPWD F1s more closely resemble
the paternal strain (E), whereas the mean MLH1 foci count in PWDxCAST F1s is more similar to that of CAST (F).

F1 Mean MLH1 Foci Count - Midparent Mean MLH1 Foci Count
FIGURE S2.—Mean MLH1 foci count in intrasubspecific F1 males most closely resembles the maternal parent phenotype. We
used a bootstrapping randomization procedure (see main text) to derive an empirical distribution of differences between the F1
mean MLH1 foci count and the midparent average MLH1 foci count. If F1 animals equally resemble both parents, this
distribution should be centered on 0. In contrast, if F1 animals are more similar to the parent with higher (lower) mean MLH1
foci count, this distribution will be shifted to the right (left). For PWDxCZECHI (maternal x paternal parent) F1 animals, the
distribution is shifted to the right, indicating that the F1s more closely resemble the higher recombination rate PWD maternal
parent (A). In the reciprocal F1 cross, CZECHIxPWD F1 animals have mean MLH1 foci counts that are more similar to those in
the lower recombination rate CZECHI maternal strain (B). The distribution for PERAxWSB F1s is shifted to the right, as
predicted if the mean MLH1 foci count in the F1s is more similar to the PERA maternal parent (C). The WSBxPERA F1s have a
mean MLH1 foci count that is roughly equidistant between that of the two parents (D).
