^a Syntenic group segments S1, S2, S3, S4, S4' identified by Gautier et al. (2002). Gaps are relatively long segments within a syntenic group that do not contain sequence common to HSA11 and bovine chromosome 15 (BTA15). Segments designated >QTL and <QTL are 4 Mb segments of HSA11 centered around syntenic markers defining boundaries of S1 (<QTL) and S2 (>QTL), flanking the BTA15 meat tenderness QTL identified by Keele et al. (1998). All syntenic regions represents the union of S1, S2, S3, S4 and S4'. Entire chromosome includes all loci with a position established on HSA11 sequence.
