Posterior probabilities of the partitions were calculated using the approximate Bayes procedure in Broman et al. (2012). D|MC, M|CD, and C|MD describe the domesticus|musculus,castaneus; musculus|castaneus,domesticus; and castaneus|musculus,domesticus partitions, respectively. PAR, pseudoautosomal region.

a

QTL newly identified by the combined analysis.

b

QTL detected in separate analyses of the two crosses but not detected by the combined analysis.

c

PAR genetic positions are relative to the beginning of the region, not the X chromosome.

d

Sperm morphology PC1 assigned to D|MC in PhyloQTL, but likely in error due to the high LOD score of QTL on the X in the musculus × domesticus cross (see text).
