Detailed view of a QTL for bull fertility at BTA18. a Manhattan plot representing the association of imputed sequence variants (diamonds) and haplotypes (bars) located on chromosome 18 between 32 and 38.5 Mb. Red framed bars and diamonds represent haplotypes and variants that meet the Bonferroni-corrected significance threshold. Symbols over the Manhattan plot indicate genes and transcripts that are annotated at the QTL region. Blue, violet, and green colour indicates genes and transcripts with testis-biased expression, male and female reproductive tract specific expression, and testis and brain specific expression. b Expression of genes within the segment 34 to 36.5 Mb in adult (blue) and newborn (black) bull testis in TPM. Blue, violet, and green labels indicate genes with testis-biased expression, male and female reproductive tract specific expression, and testis and brain specific expression
