Fig. 3.

Location of eQTLs shared by the genes selected for each individual trait. Height of the peaks represents the number of genes that have an eQTL in the same 5-cM-wide region (bin). Adjacent bins overlap 50%. Peak numbers correspond to the peaks identified for the combined gene selection (bottom row). Genes with eQTL in each peak are listed in Dataset S3. Blue circles indicate previously identified trait QTLs. Traits are clustered based on the eQTL density profile (SI Materials and Methods). x axis labels are chromosome numbers. The white and gray vertical bars represent chromosomes. Circled numbers on the tree on the left correspond to the major groups of traits discussed in the main text.
