Plots of dispersion estimates of all ribeye area and backfat thickness genes. The black dots are the dispersion estimates of the empirical values of each gene; the red line represents the trend line; the blue dots represent the genes estimates regressed through the trend line used in the hypothesis test; and the blue circles above the “cloud” of points are genes which have high gene-wise dispersion estimates which are labelled as dispersion outliers, and will not be used in the hypothesis test.
