Fine mapping of the Chr 3 QTL interval narrows the candidate region. (a) Genetic map showing the position of the previously genotyped microsatellite markers and the newly genotyped 18 SNP markers on Chr 3 used for fine mapping (y axis: cM marker positions). (b) Genetic mapping with an increased number of markers and F2 mice provided higher resolution peaks on Chr 3 for all five traits. (c) Detailed view of mapped QTL on Chr 3 showing LOD score curves for the five traits, with horizontal lines indicating the span of 95% approximate Bayesian credible intervals (95% significance) (x axis: marker position in cM).
