Figure 1From: Genome-wide association study identified three major QTL for carcass weight including the PLAG1-CHCHD7 QTN for stature in Japanese Black cattleManhattan plot of GWAS for bovine carcass weight. We genotyped 1156 Japanese Black steers with the Illumina Bovine SNP50 BeadChip. The association of SNP with carcass weight was analyzed by a variance component approach using EMMAX software [13] with adjustments for age, slaughterhouse, and year as covariates and fixed effects.
