Fig. 3

The fitted QTL model for every phenotype where a model could be found according to the procedure and thresholds as described in the methods section (no model was found for Lacuna Distribution Oblateness). The top graph shows the 19 autosomes (the sex chromosomes are not examined in this study) along the X-axis and the position on the chromosome in centimorgans on the Y-axis. The markers tagged are shown as white boxes with black borders. Every phenotype is shown in a different color and each loci is shown by a symbol indicating the LOD score of the corresponding QTL. The size of the symbol indicates how much of the population variance is explained by that QTL. The colored line represents the 95 % confidence region for the location of the loci. For selected chromosomes with high degrees of overlap (1,5,6,9,18) the LOD scores from the 0.1cM refinement are shown in the bottom figures to show the similarities between the LOD-score and thus providing indications of pleiotropy at these loci
