Expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) distribution across the autosomal chromosomes for cis- and trans-eQTLs for scenarios S2, S4, S6, and S8 represented by different set of SNPs associated with expression level of skeletal muscle of Large White pigs (Fig. 2a, b and c, and 2d, respectively). The blue lines separate the chromosomes, the Y-axis represents the gene order in relation to chromosome position in the pig genome, and the X-axis represents the SNP order in relation to chromosome position in the pig genome. Figure 2a. S2: SNPs from the RNA-seq data of the skeletal muscle, Fig. 2b. S4: SNPs from the GGP-50 K plus the SNPs from the RNA-seq data of the skeletal muscle, liver, and brain tissues, Fig. 2c. S6: SNPs from the RNA-seq data of the skeletal muscle after linkage disequilibrium pruning, and Fig. 2d. S8: SNPs from the GGP-50 K plus the SNPs from the RNA-seq data of the skeletal muscle, liver, and brain tissues after linkage disequilibrium pruning
