Figure 1From: Large-effect pleiotropic or closely linked QTL segregate within and across ten US cattle breedsThe QTL network. The genomic locations (BTA_Mb) and the trait(s) associated with each identified QTL. The traits are birth weight (BWT), calving ease direct (CED), calving ease maternal (CEM), carcass weight (CWT), marbling (MRB), mature weight (MWT), ribeye muscle area (REA), weaning weight direct (WWD), weaning weight maternal (WWM), yield grade (YGR) and yearling weight (YWT).Back to article page
