These QTLs explain 21.9% and 6.2% of the phenotypic variation separately, similar to their results.
This procedure is considered to be an advance over the two-stage method of treating the concentration and temperature variation separately.
We used our annotated transcriptional network to investigate this variation separately in vitro and in vivo.
Other analyses of data related to inter-individual differences have considered toxicokinetic variation and toxicodynamic variation separately.
Again, we calculated the hemiclone LINE least-square means and measures of variation separately for each environment.
Using this decomposition, we can then assess the effect of gene body methylation on the pure biological variation and on the technical variation, separately.
PLSR was then conducted for diversity level estimates based on 1 Mb windows for each of the four groups of genetic variation separately.
The Bayesian method can overcome these problems as it can model the random and true variation separately [ 16] and is an attractive alternative to the frequentist approach.
The latter two measurements are positively correlated, whereas length and width varied independently in our dataset and so we analysed these aspects of baculum variation separately [see Additional file 1: Table S2].
We further explored differences among and within taxa through a series of contrasts comparing hybrids to their parents, comparing the two parental taxa, as well as testing the significance of within-taxon clone variation separately for each taxon (see Table 1).
