QTL analysis identifies interactions of ELF3 with multiple loci. (A) One-dimensional QTL scan including all sequenced F2’s. Horizontal line indicates 99% significance threshold based on permutations. (B) QTL scan stratified by ELF3–STR genotype (all genotypes but those of indicated F2’s masked in each analysis). Horizontal lines of each color indicate 99% significance threshold based on permutations for each scan. (C) A nonparametric test of epistasis between ELF3 and other loci, using the independent QTL scans shown in B, ELF3 is located on chromosome 2. Horizontal lines indicate 95% significance threshold based on permutations.
