eQTL mapping on SSC1 (A) and correlogram of the predicted eQTL effects for the genes involved in the 133-149 trans -eQTL cluster (B). A. The chromosome-wise threshold of 1% (based on simulations) corresponds to the lowest LRT value of 8.6 on the graph. All the 49 eQTL on SSC1 are mapped. The trans-eQTLs are represented by narrow lines whereas the three putative cis-eQTL are represented by thick lines (COQ4, EEF1A1 and CR939593). B. The correlogram comprises the 31 genes with eQTL in the 133-149 cM cluster with the colored lines used for mapping. The correlogram includes a circle and an ellipse. Each circle is shaded red or green depending on the sign (+ and - respectively) of the correlation, and with the intensity of color scaled 0-100% in proportion with the magnitude of the correlation. The ellipse is a schematic scatterplot matrix and each panel depict the patterns of relations among variables with confidence ellipse and smoothed curve.
