A Quantitative Genomic Approach for Analysis of Fitness and Stress Related Traits in a Drosophila melanogaster Model Population

Table 1

Diagonal elements (italicized numbers) are estimated SNP heritabilities and the 95% bootstrap confidence interval in parentheses. Off-diagonal elements are genomic and raw phenotypic correlations. Below the diagonal are the Spearman rank correlations of genomic values () with associated values and above the diagonal are the Spearman rank correlations coefficients of line means with associated values. Numbers in bold are correlations with a .
