Comparison of QTL profiles. Top Results of single-marker QTL mapping of a classical phenotype (y-axis) on the original (gray line), and the saturated map (green line). Only chromosome 1 is shown. X-axis - positions of the original markers on the genetic map. Bottom Positions of probes used during marker generation on chromosome 1. Gray dots - show positions of the original markers on the physical map. Colored dots and circles - show candidate markers detected by Pheno2Geno. Orange circles - show candidate markers removed because they showed significant environmental influence. Blue circles - show candidate markers removed because they showed an epistatic interaction with other genetic markers. Green dots - show markers used for saturation of the original map. The final saturated map consists of all the green and gray dots. The locations of the new markers on the old map are shown here so that maps are aligned for better clarity.
