  1. NA results from the SNP marker being monomorphic in the population.
  2. Pop populations, NA not applicable.
  3. aThe associated region is defined as the interval covered by the GWAS peak, i.e. the start position corresponding to the associated SNP closest to the 5’ end of the chromosome and the end position corresponding to the associated SNP closest to the 3’ end of chromosome.
  4. bMinor allele count in the analysed population.
  5. cFor intergenic SNP markers, the closest gene is reported.
  6. dPopulation-wise percentage of additive genetic variance explained by the lead SNP marker when using the estimated SNP regressions from single-population GWAS model on 6RW, 2RW, 6RS or 2RS.
