Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) identify a QTL close to PRKAG3 affecting meat pH and colour in crossbred commercial pigs

Table 2 Effects and proportions of phenotypic variance explained by SNP21 (MARC0083357)

Trait	Effect (B allele)	Standard error	% Phenotypic var. explained by SNP21 ^#1	% Phenotypic var. explained by the region of SSC15_133 ^#2
QFCOL b*	0.249	0.042	1.65	1.54
QFCOL a*	0.248	0.048	1.38	1.13

^#1calculated on the basis of ASREML results, as 2pqB² of SNP21 (MAF = 0.50) divided by the total phenotypic variance; ^#2calculated on the basis of Bayes B results, as the molecular heritability multiplied by the percentage of the whole genetic variance explained by the window as shown in Table 1.
*indicates the traits of Minolta colour a* and Minolta colour b*, which are the standard description for these traits (a*, b*).
