Figure 3

Genome-wide total PMBSF raw and adjusted linkage maps and chromosome 4 interval map. (A) Genome-wide linkage map of raw PMBSF area shows two suggestive QTLs on chromosomes 4 and 17. (B) Total PMBSF area linkage map after adjustment for brain weight shows a suggestive QTL on chromosome 4. Chromosome 17 linkage is not observed here. (C) Chromosome 4 interval map of adjusted total PMBSF area. Genes spanning the interval of 5.5 to 9.0 Mb on chromosome 4 were examined. Lower gray horizontal line: suggestive LRS genome-wide threshold at p ≤ 0.63. Upper red horizontal line: significant LRS genome-wide threshold at p ≤ 0.05. Yellow histogram: frequency of peak LRS (bootstrap analysis). Orange seismograph marks indicate SNP density.
