Fig. 1From: Genetic architecture of quantitative traits in beef cattle revealed by genome wide association studies of imputed whole genome sequence variants: II: carcass merit traitsManhattan plots of GWAS results based on the imputed 7.8 M DNA variant panel for (a) hot carcass weight (HCW), (b) average backfat thickness (AFAT), (c) rib eye area (REA), (d) lean meat yield (LMY), and (e) carcass marbling score (CMAR). The vertical axis reflects the –log10 (P) values and the horizontal axis depicts the chromosomal positions. The blue line indicates a threshold of P-value < 0.005 while the red line shows the threshold of P-value < 10− 5Back to article page
