The
R2
tab contains the following elements:
|
•
|
A series of
Distribution
s showing
R
2
estimates for each
QTL
testing location for a
trait
. There is a separate plot for each trait.
|
Higher values of
R
2
statistics indicate QTL locations that are more associated or show higher heritability with the respective trait.
|
•
|
A multivariate correlation
Scatterplot Matrix
showing the correlations between the
R
2
estimates between different traits.
|
This view can be useful to see whether there are QTLs that have high
R
2
values (are associated or have higher heritability) for multiple traits. For example, if a testing location has a high
R
2
value for both
Trait_BC1
and
Trait_SF1
this would indicate that the QTL is associated to both traits. A value like this would fall along the diagonal of the plot (indicated by the dashed line above). The higher and farther to the right along the diagonal, the greater the
association
between the QTL and the two traits.
