Figure 1

Odd ratio for QTL candidates in list of differentially expressed genes. Odds ratios for the enrichment of candidate genes in lists of differentially expressed genes versus all genes in the microarray (see Methods) is plotted versus number of selection criteria used by authors to reduce the number of selected genes. Studies are colored by type of microarray comparison: congenic vs. background strains (Congenic), parental inbred strains of the cross that was used for QTL mapping (Parental) or recombinant inbred lines (RIL). See Additional file 1 for details about the selection criteria used in each study.
