Imprinted QTL (iQTL) with their patterns as defined in the text (see also Figure 1).

The locations are given in F2 cM and the confidence intervals are based on the genome coordinates of the markers that flank the confidence region (see Methods). Coordinates (Mb) are based on mouse genome build 36 (www.ensembl.org). The best fit pattern of a locus for each trait is listed as Paternal = paternal expression, Maternal = maternal expression, Bipolar = bipolar dominance imprinting, Over = polar overdominance imprinting and Under = polar underdominance imprinting. Patterns where the iQTL was significant at the genome-wide level are shown in bold, patterns significant at the chromosome level are italicized and patterns significant at the locus level are shown in plain text (see Methods). Patterns marked with an asterisk show a parent-of-origin effect (i) that is significant at the chromosome level, but the overall model test for the locus is not significant. These are included as suggestive iQTL because of the strength of their putative imprinting effect. Shown are the 10 weekly weights and two growth traits (growth 1�C3 is weight gain from week 1 to week 3 while growth 3�C10 is weight gain from week 3 to 10). The dashed line indicates the age of weaning (included to highlight that nearly all effects occur post-weaning). Values of effects and exact significance values are given in Table S1.
