  1. aP0: Posterior probability of the difference between genotypes being greater (if positive) or lower (if negative) than zero. bHPD95: highest posterior density region at 95%; cL*: Lightness; a*: redness; b*: yellowness; C*: chroma; h*: hue angle; IMF: intramuscular fat on a wet-matter basis; Marbling-NE: marbling graded on photo from 1 (low) to 10 (high) by 16 non-expert consumers according to the standards of the National Pork Producers Council, USA. Values adjusted for carcass weight.
