QTL global meta-analysis: are trait determining genes clustered?

BMC Genomics

Table 1 Second level GO terms that differed when comparing QTL to the full genome using the t-test.

QTL Category	GO Term	Description	QTL GO term density	Genome wide GO term density	Ratio	p. value
Reproduction	GO:0005488	binding	1.00	0.83	1.19	0.0001
Reproduction	GO:0045202	synapse	0.03	0.05	0.64	0.0032
Reproduction	GO:0044456	synapse part	0.03	0.04	0.65	0.0053

Table describes second level GO terms found to be significantly different via t-test analysis. GO term densities are mean values normalized with respect to gene content. To be considered statistically significant, the p-value must be less than 0.00625 (Bonferroni corrected). QTL category describes the QTL group from which the terms where found in abundance.
