Quantile-quantile (qq) plots of the P- values show that there are highly significant associations in the experiments using DCV and DMelSV — the two viruses that infect D. melanogaster in the wild — but not in the experiments using FHV and DAffSV ( Figure 1 ).

This allows us to calculate the marginal significance of each polymorphism (i.e. the P- value after controlling for the effects of all the other SNPs).
