We used the estimation of female and male recombination rates from the refined map and interpolated the map in non-overlapping bins of 1 kb across each of the 22 autosomes. Bins were set to `̀NA'' if they overlapped a centromere, gaps in the assembly, or were located in low-resolution regions of our map (where inter-SNPs intervals size>50 kb). For each bin, we also computed a number of genomic and epigenomic annotations, as listed in Supplementary Table 6. GC content and CpG content were computed using the hg19 build of human reference genome. The percentage of bins in CpG islands was computed using the CpG island track from the UCSC Genome Browser. SNP density in Europeans was computed using the 1000 Genomes Phase 3 variants list16. We computed the exon percentage as the proportion of each 1 kb bin overlapping transcripts listed in the Gencode gene list (v19). Per cent overlap with a given repeat family or repeat elements were computed using the UCSC repeat masker table. We obtained DNA motif locations using our program (available here: https://github.com/auton1/motiflocation) applied to the reference genome. Per cent overlap with histone peaks was computed using the ENCODE data, as well as H3k4me3 peaks from testis sample kindly provided K. Brick and published in ref. 22.
