Output Description

QTL IM, CIM and MIM Analysis

Running this process using either the F2_IM or the F2_MIM sample setting generates the tabbed Results windows shown below. Refer to the QTL IM, CIM and MIM Analysis process description for more information. Output from the process is organized into tabs. Each tab contains one or more plots, data panels, data filters, and so on. that facilitate your analysis.

Results (IM/CIM Analysis)

Tab Viewer

This pane provides you with a space to view individual tabs within the Results window. Use the tabs to access and view the output plots and associated data sets.

Tabs

The following tabs are generated by this process:

Results (IM and CIM Analysis): This tab includes plots for each chromosome (with traits either overlaid in a single plot or split out into separate plots) displaying the LOD score versus the QTL testing location in centiMorgans or Morgans.
Estimate Plots (IM and CIM Analysis): These plots show the LOD score versus the Additive Effect computed by the QTL model for each trait.
R2 Plots: This tab includes distributions displaying R2 estimates (also called CorrCoeff2, the square of the correlation coefficient) for each QTL testing location for a trait, and, a multivariate correlation plot showing the correlations between the trait estimates. Note: The correlation scatterplot is generated only when multiple Trait Variables are specified.
SAS Output: This tab displays results tables created by SAS for the QTL model. Note: This tab is generated only when EM Algorithm is chosen as the QTL Mapping Model Algorithm.

Drill-down Buttons

: Click this button to start the genome-wide forward search for statistically significant QTL main effects. Putative QTLs with statistical signal larger than the specified threshold are added into the model.
: Click this button to start the backward elimination of statistically non-significant QTL main effects. QTLs with interaction effects in the model are not entered into the backward elimination procedure.
: Click this button to start the search for two-way interaction effects between QTL effects that are already in the model.
: Click this button to start the genome-wide forward search for new QTLs that might not have statistically significant main effects but that have statistically significant two-way interaction effects with QTLs already in the model.
: Click this button to start the genome wide forward search for new pairs of QTLs on which neither QTL might have statistically significant main effects but have statistically significant two-way interaction effects with each other.
: Click this button to start the backward elimination of statistically non-significant QTL interaction effects.
: Click this button to interactively add (delete) main or interaction effects of QTL to (from) the model.
: Click this button to change values of parameters originally specified in the MIM Options tab.
