Figure 4.
The eQTL analysis detects a highly significant, replicable association for the expression of the gene HAC1 (AT2G21045). The peak SNP is located in an exon of HAC1. (A/C) Distributions of transcript-levels for the 140/107 accessions (FPKM/RPKM-values from RNA-sequencing) in the SCHMITZ-data (A) and DUBIN-data (C) (Schmitz et al. 2013; Dubin et al. 2015), respectively. (B, D) Illustrations of the association-profiles (Kierczak et al. 2015) for expression of the gene AT2G21045 (HAC1) in the SCHMITZ-data (B) and the DUBIN-data (D) (Schmitz et al. 2013)/(Dubin et al. 2015), respectively. There is a highly significant cis-eQTL to a SNP located in an exon of HAC1.
