  2. bRegulator type for eQTL
  3. cEffect the peak eQTL marker has on the gene’s expression: positive indicates B allele increases and negative indicates B allele decreases expression
  4. dqvalue of peak eQTL marker (FDR < 0.01)
  5. ePhenotypes significantly associated with the gene’s expression. Meat Quality includes the phenotypes for sensory panel juiciness, tenderness and overall tenderness, Warner Bratzler Shear Force, Cook Yield, Drip Loss and 24-h pH
