From: Large-effect pleiotropic or closely linked QTL segregate within and across ten US cattle breeds
Proportions of additive genetic variance explained by detected QTL. The proportions of additive genetic variance explained by detected QTL (1-Mb windows of the genome explaining ≥ 1% of additive genetic variance) for each trait in 10 US cattle breeds. 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). The breeds are shown as AAN (Angus), BRG (Brangus), BSH (Shorthorn), CHA (Charolais), GVH (Gelbvieh), HER (Hereford), LIM (Limousin), RAN (Red Angus), RDP (Maine-Anjou) and SIM (Simmental).
