Manhattan plots for the growth curve parameter maturity rate (K) in Brahman cattle.

<p>Chromosomes 1 to 29 and X are shown, separated by alternating colors. The corresponding horizontal lines indicate the genome-wide significance levels for both traits.</p

Nonlinear regression models fitted to growth curve data (weight-age) of Brahman cattle.

<p>w_t: body weight at ages t = 0, 6, 12, 15, 18, and 24 months; A: asymptotic or mature weight; b: parameter of integration (or the time-scale parameter); K: maturity rate; M: inflection parameter of Richards function.</p><p>Nonlinear regression models fitted to growth curve data (weight-age) of Brahman cattle.</p

Means and standard deviations for the parameter estimates, and goodness of fit(GOF) results based on convergence rate (C%), adjusted coefficient of determination (R²); mean square error (MSE); mean-absolute deviation for periods 1 (until 12 months–MAD₁) and 2 (older than 12 months–MAD₂), and Akaike's information criterion (AIC).
