Heat-map of interaction effects for avoidance behavior. Results for avoidance of: (a) E. coli OP50; (b) DSM350; (c) nematocidal B-18247; and (d) nematocidal B-18679. The distribution of markers across the genome is shown on both axes. The chromosome boundaries are indicated by the thin vertical and horizontal lines. A color legend for significance of the interaction between markers is shown on top of the panels. Significance is in –log10(p). High significance values are given in “warm” colors with purple and red indicating the highest significances, followed by orange and then yellow. For example, in panel (c) showing the results for B-18247, the thin red area towards the bottom right indicates a significant interaction between loci from the beginning of the X chromosome (horizonal axis) and the middle of chromosome II (horizontal axis). The other slightly larger red area in the bottom right of this panel points to a significant interaction between the beginning of chromosome V (horizontal axis) and the beginning of chromosome II (vertical axis)
