Description

If a user needs to use a recombination map usually what they want is the most recently defined one. So, documentation should list the maps so that the most recently defined map is listed first, and prominently display the year it was defined. This also goes for the help in the CLI, which should list available recombination maps with a short description of what they are, and their year.

Research direction

Start with the documentation and CLI entry points that list available recombination maps. Update both listings so maps are ordered newest first and each prominently includes its definition year and a short description; done means the documentation and CLI present the same complete, reverse-chronological information.
