a A GWAS on H/L in chicken peripheral blood identified a 1-Mb region on chromosome 5. Red horizontal dashed lines indicate the Bonferroni-corrected significance threshold (7.1 × 10−8). b Population structure evaluated on the basis of the first two principal components. c Quantile–quantile (Q–Q) plot of the GWAS results. The x-axis shows the expected p values under the null hypothesis, and the y-axis the observed p-values. The GIF (genomic inflation factor) was 1.04 for H/L, which suggests that the population structure was well controlled.
