Cuticul_n_C27 phenotype

GWAS results were precomputed for all phenotypes using PLINK2 [v2.00a3LM (1 Jul 2021)] and corrected for the 6 main covariates defined in Huang et al., 2014. These covariates are the same than the ones used in the DGRP2 website.
GWAS results were computed on dm3 genome.

Shapiro-Wilk test of normality (p-value=9.254e-9)
Null Hypothesis is rejected (p<=0.05).
Interpretation: NOT NORMAL distribution of this phenotype
We tested for association of this phenotype with 6 known covariates Huang et al., 2014 using both ANOVA and Kruskal-Wallis association tests.

1871 significant hits at p-value < 0.001. The 1000 top results are displayed in the table below.
We performed a gene enrichment calculation (Fisher's exact test) of all GWAS-associated genes at p < 0.001. Genesets were taken from two database: the Gene Ontology (GO) and the FlyBase phenotypes. GO enrichment FlyBase phenotype enrichment
