  1. Abbreviations: GEMMA, genome-wide efficient mixed model association; LASSO, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator; QTL, quantitative trait loci.
  2. aR2: Proportion of the total phenotypic variation explained by the QTL.
  3. bGEMMA-A: Bonferroni correction with P-value less than 1/m, where m is the total number of markers.
  4. cGEMMA-B: Bonferroni correction with P-value less than 0.05/m, where m is the total number of markers.
