Merge analysis of sequence variants around Stsl1 and Stsl2 interval. The X-axis is genome location; the Y-axis is the –log₁₀(P) of the test of association between locus and bacterial load. Only the critical interval for each locus is shown. The continuous black line is the genome scan result in Fig. 3. The dots correspond to the results of the merge analysis. Biallelic SNPs are in gray; Triallelic SNPs are in blue; Variants with more than three alleles are in red. The larger dots circled in red correspond to SNPs with the most significant merge –log10(P). All SNPs with merge –log₁₀(P) < 1 are not shown. a) Stsl1 QTL on Chr 8. b) Stsl2 QTL on Chr 10
