Figure 2: QTL supports intervals (as determined by the 1.8 LOD drop method) in the genome separating out loci for relative and total brain mass and body mass.

The x-axis represents the chromosome containing the QTL, whilst the size of the each bar represents the total QTL region size (i.e. the 95% C.I. of the QTL location).
