Genome-wide association study for length. The Manhattan plot represents the significance of SNP associations estimated with linear-mixed models. The significant SNP are represented in green. Significant regions identified with the Adaptive MultiBLUP approach are represented with a blue box. SNP with a posterior inclusion probability (PIP) larger than 0.5 are identified with triangles. The PIP were estimated with BSLMM. The five known coding variants previously identified for their association with specific phenotypes (see Table 2) are in red. The horizontal dashed line indicates the significance threshold
