  1. Abbreviations: CI, confidence interval; CLIP, close linkage versus pleiotropism; QTL, quantitative trait loci.
  2. : ratio of the QTL variance to the residual variance.
  3. RSD in bracket: relative standard deviation (in percentage) calculated over the different alternatives and setup within each QTL effect group.
