GWAS for two maturation traits in Atlantic salmon. SNP associations with freshwater (FMAT, a) and marine maturation (MMAT, b) are shown in genomic order for a karyotype consisting of 29 autosomes. The strength of association is given as the –Log10(p-value) and the horizontal lines represents the genome wide (red) or chromosome wide (blue line) significance thresholds. Expression levels from 45,531 genes was used to cluster a set of eight Atlantic salmon tissues. This was compared with heat maps of tissue-specific expression observed using positional candidate genes obtained from GWAS for FMAT (d) and MMAT (e). The values used are the log2 transformed fragment per kilobase million estimates (refer to the materials and methods)
