Two focal loci explain most of the phenotypic change, independent of the number of background loci. Numbers show the percentage of phenotypic change explained by the two focal loci, color codes the proportion of simulations in which they are significantly increasing in frequency. We used a quantitative trait model with a range of distances to the phenotypic optimum and different numbers of background loci contributing to the phenotype in addition to the two focal loci. With few additional loci of similar effect size (first three rows), the contribution of SNF4Aγ and Sestrin to the phenotypic change is minor, but the probability to detect them as outlier SNPs is low
