The correlation between
App and heat shock protein 84-1 transcript is most impressive. Since WebQTL now contains total of
about 70,000 traits in the BXD strains, we could produce as many as to 70k x
35k scatter plots of this type. Since all of the correlations come for a common reference population,
none of the correlations are
blantantly silly. However the great majority may be uninterpretable and a
very large number may be meaningless given the signal-to-noise ratios of
some measurements. With about 30 strains, correlations above 0.7 have a
reasonably low false positive rate.
