Figure 5. Role of sex as a modifier of the genotype effect with more stringent criteria.

Figure 5

Exploration of the role of sex in modifying the genotype effect in studies of continuous traits of knockout mice data from the IMPC. (a) Distribution of sex effect in the genotype significant data sets when using a 1% FDR. Overall, 110,586 data sets were tested and 3.4% (3,719) were significant for the stage 1 genotype effect. Of these, 12% (n=466) were classed as SD. (b) Distribution of sex effect in the genotype significant data sets when processing only multi-batch data sets at a 5% FDR. A total of 46,925 data sets were tested and 8.9% (3,719) were significant for the stage 1 genotype effect. Of these, 13.8% (n=575) were classed as SD.
