Performance of E-GWAS under different bin sizes. a Numbers of true QTN detected and b numbers of false QTN detected. We compared the performance of E-GWAS across three bin sizes: 0, 10 and 50 kb. The simulated phenotype had a heritability of 0.6 and was controlled by 100 QTN. The comparisons were conducted with 100 replicates. The numbers of true and false positives among 100 replicates were recorded. The preliminary combined SNP list, the SNP list after elimination multicollinearity among SNPs, and the list of remaining SNPs after the permutation test are represented in red, blue, and green
