Authors' line mean of climbing height (cm reached 3 s after the last tap, RING negative-geotaxis assay) of virgin flies, paraquat treatment (200 µM paraquat in 1% sucrose for 24 h). Not a plain mean: the mean over the flies of the line of the fitted values of the authors' per-sex linear mixed model (treatment fixed; line, block, line x treatment, line x block and block x treatment random), i.e. adjusted for block effects; these are the values used for the GWAS (sheets Male and Female of 'Raw Climbing Data and Line Means.xlsx'). They differ from the plain means of ClimbPQ (raw dataset 1) by 0.10 cm on average. Paraquat susceptibility (GWAS trait) = mn_ClimbCtrlAuth - mn_ClimbPQAuth. [cm]
