Analyses to by-pass the effect of partial disomy on transcriptome. (A) Principle of the analyses: Analysis 2 was the safest way to eliminate all the partial disomy effect and would have been applicable with a larger population. However, using a 31 segregants population reduced significantly our ability to detect small QTLs. Analysis 3 bypassed the majority of disomy effects while keeping a good detectability for the other traits. However, if the disomy has a partial effect on transcripts expression, this analysis kept this effect as a noise for eQTL detection. (B) Venn diagram for the comparison of the 3 analyses. The color used here will be used in Figure 4.
