  1. 1CW carcass weight, BFT backfat thickness, HW ham weight, IMF intramuscular fat content, LEA loin eye area. In INRA experiment, BFT1 was measured between the 3rd and the 4th lumbar vertebrae at 8 cm from the spine; BFT2 measurement was taken three vertebrae beneath the last rib at 6 cm from the mid-dorsal line.
  2. 2LRT likelihood ratio test. Significance levels: * 5% chromosome-wide significance; ** 5% genome-wide significance; *** 1% genome-wide significance.
  3. 3Pos = position.
  4. 4CI confidence interval of QTL position computed by a 1-LOD drop-off method.
  5. 5 QTL substitution effect = Chinese breed allele – European breed allele.
