Fig. 6. Significant and suggestive GWAS SNPs are also cis- and trans-eQTLs that explain variation in mRNA expression.

Fig. 6

The colored boxes represent the region between the 25th and 75th percentiles, internal horizontal lines the median, outside horizontal lines the 100th percentile and open circles the outliers. Genotypes are labeled on the x-axis: 0 = major allele homozygous, 1 = heterozygous and 2 = minor allele homozygous. The mRNA expression counts, labeled on the y-axis, are taken from their original studies16,40. Effect of SNP 1 genotype on date of first torpor (a; n = 72 independent squirrels) and expression of its cis-eGene FAM204A (b) and trans-eGene PHLPP1 (c) in BAT (n = 43 independent squirrels). d–f Effect of SNP 5 on date of first torpor, cis-eGene CHRM2 and trans-eGene AGTR1 in heart (n = 22 independent squirrels). g–i Effect of SNP 10 on date of first torpor, cis-eGene PTN and trans-eGene FER in BAT (n = 43 independent squirrels).
