Manhattan plot with GWAS for AVPCV, AVLWT, and AVFEC.

<p>QQ plots of observed −log10 p-values against expected values (top) and histogram of SNP effects (bottom) on the right hand side. Dashed red line for AVPCV corresponds to the lowest −log10 p-value amongst relevant SNPs (3.936).Dashed red line for AVLWT corresponds to the lowest −log10 p-value amongst relevant SNPs (3.898).Dashed red line for AVFEC corresponds to the lowest −log10 p-value amongst relevant SNPs (3.794).</p

Manhattan plot for AVPCV, AVLWT, and AVFEC using EMMAX (permutation results in grey) and BLUPf90/PostGSf90 (permutation results in grey).

<p>Horizontal dashed lines in orange represent significant SNP markers in the BLUPf90/PostGSf90 analysis. Dashed red line for AVPCV corresponds to the lowest −log10 p-value amongst relevant SNPs (3.936).Dashed red line for AVLWT corresponds to the lowest −log10 p-value amongst relevant SNPs (3.898).Dashed red line for AVFEC corresponds to the lowest −log10 p-value amongst relevant SNPs (3.794).</p
