GWAS results for morphological traits in dogs using the canine 722 genome catalog. Manhattan plots showing statistical significance (−log10 scale) for the 30,000 most associated biallelic variants for each canine autosome, and all variants for the X chromosome (X-axis). a Validation of this WGS-GWAS approach using known examples in dogs: presence or absence of moustache and eyebrows, length of fur, and height as a multigenic trait. b Associations identified using body mass including the bulky phenotype and life span. The red line represents the Bonferroni corrected significance threshold (−log10(P) ≃8.46) and variants passing this threshold are colored in red. Candidate genes identified in this study are in bold
