QTLs associated with bacterial loads in spleen and liver after S. Typhimurium infection in CC strains. Genome-wide associations for bacterial loads in spleen (a) and liver (b) in 35 CC strains. X-axis: genome location; Y-axis: –log10(P) values of the test of association between genotype and phenotype. Genome-wide thresholds of association at E < 0.5, E < 0.1 and E < 0.05 significance levels are indicated respectively by horizontal gray, orange and red lines. (a) Spleen bacterial load thresholds respectively at –log10(P) = 2.9, 3.8 and 4.2. (b) Liver bacterial load thresholds respectively at –log10(P) = 2.9, 4.0 and 4.3
