The upper part of this page includes a hierarchical cluster tree of the set of traits you selected in the previous window. To generate this plot, we initially compute distances between pairs of traits using (1 - r) where r is the Pearson product-moment correlation. The hierarchy is assembled by successively linking traits and groups of traits.
<P></P>
The lower part of this page provides a QTL heat map for all members of the Cluster Tree, extending from proximal Chr 1 at the top to distal Chr X at the bottom. Each vertical column or stripe encodes the genome-wide p value computed on the basis of 1000 permutations. Orange triangles mark the approximate location of genes.
<P></P>
These QTL heat maps can be redrawn using alternative color assignments using the "Redraw Cluster Tree" option. The default heat map is "Grey + Blue + Red" in which more intense colors mark chromosomal regions with comparatively high linkage statistics and the spectrum encodes the allelic effect. For example, blue-green regions are those in which one of the parental alleles (e.g., C57BL/6J) is associated with higher trait values, whereas red-yellow regions are those in which the other parental allele is associated with higher trait values. Grey and black regions have insignfiicant linkage to trait variance. The "Blue + Red" option is similar but the entire genome is encoded for allele polarity, including regions without significant linkage. Finally, " Single Spectrum" provides a plot that does not distinguish between allelic effects and encodes the p values, ranging from insignificant (dark blue) to genome-wide significant (bright red).
