Quantitative trait loci associated with liver area in Astyanax mexicanus. A Location of markers (horizontal lines) on linkage group 13 and 19 indicating the peak position and bayes credible interval (box and whiskers) for QTL associated with liver area. B, C Average liver area (± 1SE) of adult F2 surface/Pachón hybrid females and males of the indicated linkage group 13 peak marker genotype (S = surface allele, C = cave allele). D, E Average liver area (± 1SE) of adult F2 surface/Pachón hybrid females and males of the indicated linkage group 19 peak marker genotype (S = surface allele, C = cave allele, fish fed restricted diet for 4 months). F Location of markers (horizontal lines) on linkage group 7 indicating the peak position and bayes credible interval (box and whiskers) for QTL associated with liver area. G, H Average liver area (± 1SE) of adult F2 surface/Pachón hybrid females and males of the indicated linkage group 7 peak marker genotype (S = surface allele, C = cave allele). I, J Average normalized liver area (± 1SE) of adult F2 surface/Pachón hybrid females and males of the indicated linkage group 21 peak marker genotype (S = surface allele, C = cave allele)
