Associations between Variation in X Chromosome Male Reproductive Genes and Sperm Competitive Ability in Drosophila melanogaster

Figure 4

SNP allelic associations with P1 and P2. (a): associations between a deletion found on the gene CG9156 and the arcsine square transformation of the proportion of progeny sired by the X experimental male when he was the first to mate. Gene CG9156 deletion 159-160 had 21 lines with a deletion in both positions, 4 lines with a deletion in just the second position, and 14 lines with the reference sequence AA. This deletion showed a statistically significant decrease in the P1′ statistic ( 𝑞 = 0 . 0 3 3 ). (b): for CG15208 position 1019, there were 7 lines with the rare allele C and 48 lines with the common allele T. Those lines containing the rare allele showed a significant increase in P2′ ( 𝑞 = 0 . 0 2 0 ). (c): for CG17450 position 210, 4 lines had the rare allele G, while 41 lines contained the common allele C. This rare allele also demonstrated a statistically significant increase in P2′ ( 𝑞 = 0 . 0 4 8 ).
