  1. Number of correctly identified QTL categorised by size of the QTL variance (large, medium or small), and number of false positives, with QTL detection based on the posterior inclusion probability summed up over intervals of 60 adjacent markers or the posterior inclusion probability of individual markers; the 10 best intervals or markers were denoted as QTL; more than one QTL can be present in an interval, so that the total number of QTL identified can be larger than 10.
