Limitation of Number of Strains and Persistence of False Positive Loci in QTL Mapping Using Recombinant Inbred Strains
Figure 5
Persistence of false positive QTL on Chr 15 in the tests with less number of RI strains.
Pink color lines on the top indicate the threshold for significant level. Light grey lines indicate the threshold for suggestive level. Top panel, detection of QTL on Chr 6 in the replicate #2 in the tests with different number of strains. Middle panel, detection of QTL on Chr 11 in the tests with different number of strains. Bottom panel, detection of false positive QTL on Chr 15 in the tests with different number of strains.
