In this case, we have used green lines between transcripts that have positive correlations, and red lines between transcripts that have negative correlations. Correlations have been multiplied by 100. The correlation of 0.96 between App and Hsp84-1 reads 96.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>These are Pearson product moment correlations and they are sensitive to outliers. If you prefer, you can recompute Spearman rank order correlations.</font><br> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan=1></td> <td align=left colspan=1><br> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan=1></td> <td align=left colspan=1><font face=Helvetica size=2>Where did Ndr4 (lower left) come from? It is not in the list in the previous slide. Actually it is. Nomenclature changes rapidly.

The set of numbers that read 2@140* etc. These are the approximate locations of additive effect QTLs detected by WebQTL that we will describe in other slides. Read this as: App has a suggestive QTL on Chr 2 at about 140 Mb and the D allele inherited from DBA/2J confirms a higher expression level at this marker.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>If there is no star symbol, then it is not even formally �suggestive� but does make an interesting looking blip on the QTL radar screen.</font><br> </td> </tr> </table> </body> </html>
