Figure 2

Manhatan plot of –log10(p-value) of genome wide SNP association results showing (A) a strong association signal at the centromeric region of BTA14 with test day fat percent (TFP); (B) expanded 0-2 Mbp region of BTA14 showing significant SNPs and corresponding genes and (C) significant SNP association with C20:5n3 (eicosapentaenoic acid, EPA). Thirty six and 56 significant (P-value BH FDR ≤ 0.1) genome wide SNP associations with respectively TFP and C20:5n3 are shown above the horizontal lines. Genome wide association analysis was done with implementation of the single-locus efficient mixed model (EMMA) association approach (Kang 2008) using 76,355 SNPs markers with minor allele frequencies ≥1.5%.
