Fig. 3: The relationship between phenotype severity and variation fits a quadratic trend.
From: A quadratic paradigm describes the relationship between phenotype severity and variation
a Each genotype was plotted as a single point determined by the mean symplectic length and variance, representing among-individual variation, for that genotype. Alleles are indicated by color, and genotypes are indicated by shape for each point. The R-squared for the quadratic equation that represents the relationship between among-individual variation and severity is indicated. b Each genotype was plotted by the average left/right asymmetry, representing within-individual variation, against mean symplectic length. The R-squared for the quadratic equation that represents the relationship between within-individual variation and severity is indicated. The gray bands in (a) and (b) represent 95% confidence intervals. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
