Sex linkage groups of E. sinensis. Female LG60 corresponds to the putative W chromosome and homologous male LG60 corresponds to the putative Z chromosome. GWAS markers linked to sex are indicated in black frames on female LG60. QTL markers linked to sex are indicated in red frames on both female and male LG60. All possible sex-linked markers are shaded in gray in the integrated LG60. The markers heterozygous in either the sire or the dam are tagged as ‘f’ or ‘m’, with markers heterozygous in both parents (bi-parental markers) tagged as ‘h’ and the dominant markers labeled as ‘df’ or ‘dm’. The expected and observed segregation patterns for markers in ZW-ZZ or XX-XY system are shown in the table (according to Staelens et al., 2008). Segregation patterns of all 46 markers detected by GWAS conform to patterns 1–3 within the frame. ‘A’ and ‘a’ are symbols and do not refer to ‘dominant’ or ‘recessive’. A full color version of this figure is available at the Heredity journal online.
