Locus-based founders contribution to the MM genomes. Panel a shows that founders’ contribution to MM lines genomes is close to 12.5%, except for CML91, seldom introduced. Because of this, CML91 was excluded from QTL analyses. Some regions still show significant deviation from the expected one-eighth. Regions of Chr 7, 9, and 10 in which founder proportions are distorted are shown in panel (b). Each line depicts the contribution of the founder that is over-represented. Below the line, each tick (colored according to legend in panel (a) indicates a polymorphism between the over-represented and the under-represented founder. The allelic distortion on Chr 7, 10 (for A632 vs. B73), and partially 9 can be related with IBS regions in which the haplotype model cannot distinguish between the two founders. The under-representation of F7 on Chr 10 has another cause (see text)
