Although some loose linkage was observed between markers at the ends of different linkage groups, we did not merge these linkage groups because the loose linkage between markers might have occurred by chance alone.
Here, a large gap appeared between marker loci UFFxa02C07 (at 4 cM) and CFVCT031 (at 31 cM), and close linkage was observed between CFVCT031 and ARSFL031, whereas for linkage groups 2A and 2B, these three markers showed the opposite pattern.
No obvious linkage was observed between Mn II) adsorption and the amine group which is critical to heavy metal adsorption in previous studies.
No linkage was observed between loci following adjustment of the significance level for multiple comparisons with a Bonferroni correction [13].
The strong genetic linkage disequilibrium observed between the nra- versus rofA-lineage transcriptional regulatory genes, and genotypes for preferred tissue site of infection [5], is highly suggestive of a direct link between different gene expression programs and tissue-specific environmental signals and/or adaptive strategies.
No locus displayed deviations from HWE, and there was no evidence of linkage disequilibrium observed between any of the STR markers.
As previously reported (Lurje et al, 2008), TS 5′TRP and TS 3′UTR polymorphism were in LD (D′=0.538; r=0.1) but no linkage was observed between these and UGT1A variants.
Statistical analysis revealed that an almost linear negative linkage was observed between EGFR mRNA expression levels and FVC, DLCO and 6(d)).
Because a YCT genetic map does not exist, we also constructed a YCT cross (N = 48 mapping progeny) so that we could clarify linkage anomalies observed between the F1 hybrid and published RBT maps [ 21, 33].
In the southeastern Barents Sea, statistically significant linkages were observed between chlorophyll a and zooplankton biomass, as well as between net primary production and fish biomass, indicating bottom-up trophic interactions in this region.
