<p>The accuracy of prediction for the glucose concentration (left) and total cholesterol amount (right) with the lasso method using the expression levels of all of the genes and selected genes in liver. The ‘gene expression levels’ and ‘SNP genotypes + gene expression levels’ on the x-axis represent the accuracy using the gene expression levels alone and using both the SNP genotypes and gene expression levels together, respectively. The white, light gray, gray, dark gray, and black bars correspond to the accuracy using all of genes, the SL higher genes, the SL lower genes, the TS higher genes, and the SD higher genes, respectively. The bar that is labeled with an asterisk is significantly different (P <0.05) from the white bar according to a paired t-test.</p
