Fig. 3From: A multi-parent recombinant inbred line population of C. elegans allows identification of novel QTLs for complex life history traitsParental background of the multi parental recombinant inbred lines and recombination and allelic distribution per chromosome. a Colors indicate the parental background per genetic segment (x-axis) per RIL (y-axis) as estimated from the SNP distribution patterns. Chromosomes are in separate panels on the x-axis. mpRILs are grouped according to their cross history. The parental lines are shown in group Z. b Genome-wide distribution of parental alleles. Colors indicate the percentage of parental occurrence (y-axis) per genetic segment (x-axis) as estimated from the SNP distribution patterns. Chromosomes are in separate panels on the x-axis. c Recombination per chromosome. Chromosomes show on the x-axis. Numbers of recombinations per RIL are shown on the y-axis. d Recombination frequency per chromosome. e Genomic distance (x) vs genetic distance (y), the rug lines (small lines on the axis) indicate the marker positionsBack to article page
