Figure 2. Individual and combined effects of significant loci and overview of all significant loci identified in this study.

Figure 2

(a) Effect sizes (variation in β diversity explained) for the 42 significant loci (lead SNPs) are shown in decreasing order (left axis), and additive effects (Online Methods) are shown by the dashed line (right axis). (b) Chromosomes on the right side of the plot show the chromosomal position of genes significantly associated with β diversity (black) or an individual taxon (blue). The inner circle includes genes whose mouse homologs were implicated in one or more previously published mouse QTL studies35,47–50(supplementary tables 6 and 7), denoted by a link to the corresponding mouse chromosome and appearing in the same color as the human chromosome on which the gene is located. For genes located in the outer circle, either there is no mouse homolog or the mouse homolog does not fall within a QTL.
