This allowed for addresses to be corroborated between the two selection approaches.
To compare the interference between the two selection schemes, we first consider the fixed antenna selection scheme.
The accuracy of EBVs was, nevertheless, equally high for R, S + IND and S + AVER, and these values did not essentially differ between the two selection intensities.
Twenty-eight probesets and twenty-three genes were shared between the two selection criteria yielding 115 total probesets for further investigation.
Lastly, an association analysis demonstrated that neither of the point mutations was strongly associated with the phenotypic differences between the two selection lines.
No significant differences were seen in the written examination results between the two selection groups (Mann-Whitney U, p = 0.955), nor by gender (Mann-Whitney U, p = 0.258), Table 2.
No differences in gene expression were found at any of the time points between the two selection lines (HSCS vs LSCS).
Association was tested primarily by looking for greater allelic segregation between the two selection lines than would be expected to arise by genetic drift [ 29].
For instance, SNX19, a nexin with a phospholipid-binding motif involved in intracellular transport (Worby and Dixon 2002), is shared between the two selection studies (Pollard et al. [2006a]: P = 4.8 × 10−05, Haygood et al. [2007]: P = 2.3 × 10−03), and also shows differential expression in this study (P = 1.3 × 10−08).
The temperate Paris selection lines appear to be relatively unable to compete; nevertheless, looking at the differences between the three selection regimes, even for the Paris population, the line selected for reduced cell area has an increase in larval competitive ability respect to the other two lines selected for reduced wing area or cell number.
