Table 1 Overview of the possibilities in the two-stage approach of a consomic strain survey

From: Consomic mouse strain selection based on effect size measurement, statistical significance testing and integrated behavioral z-scoring: focus on anxiety-related behavior and locomotion

  1. a Very often several behavioral variables are measured in one behavioral test. For some of these variables there is neither evidence for a QTL in the n = 27 (host strain) versus n = 6 (consomic line) comparison nor in the n = 27 (host strain) versus n = 27 (consomic line) comparison. However it is also possible, but not likely, that significant evidence for a QTL turns up
