Figure 1

Venn diagrams [20] that show the intersections of the sets of QTLs detected by each expression measure for the LOD ≥ 3 (top, N = 306) and LOD ≥ 5 (bottom, N = 52) thresholds. The size of each circle is proportional to the number of QTLs detected (but the two figures are not in the same scale). The area in yellow represents the number of QTLs detected by all the six methods: 3% (n = 9) for LOD ≥ 3 and 10% (n = 5) for LOD ≥ 5.
