Figure 1

Test statistic curves for genome-wide significant QTLs. Horizontal lines indicate the 1% and 5% genome-wide significant thresholds applicable at the corresponding graph. Markers and distances in cM are indicated on the x-axis. A. QTL for protein content in LD on SSC3. B. QTLs on SSC6 for ΔpH/h in LD 45 min to 3 h p.m., drip loss in LD day 3–7 (4 days) and protein content in LD. C. QTLs for chewing resistance, chewing time and tenderness on SSC6. D. QTL for freezing and cooking loss in LD on SSC16. LD – M. longissimus dorsi, p.m.-post mortem
