The score statistic is calculated throughout the genome for
the adjusted SBP. The p-value at each marker location is
graphed in Figure 1. Chromosome 3 is excluded from the
analysis because, for this chromosome, the number of
markers on the marker map provided by GAW13 is not
consistent with that in the corresponding pedigree file.
There is no strong linkage signal from our analysis. There
are two markers whose p-value is smaller than, but very
close to 0.01: one is marker c4g10 (106.13 cM) on chromosome
4 and the other one is marker c16g11 (109.60
cM) on chromosome 16.
