  1. The averages are expressed over the ten replicates, using the Bayes C and weighted single step GBLUP (WssGBLUP) analyses
  2. aGWAS using (SI) or ignoring (SII) phenotypic information of non-genotyped animals, applying different weights (w1, w2 and w3) for the SNP effects in the WssGBLUP method. And using π = 0.99 and π = 0.999 in the Bayes C method
  3. bGenetic variance (%) explained by the sum of variances accounted by top marker windows (Pvar_topMRKw) and by the NtopQTLs (Pvar_topQTL)
  4. cMaximum genetic variance (%) explained by a top marker window (Pvar_1stMRKw) and by a topQTL (Pvar_1stQTL)
  5. dEstimated number of true QTLs explaining 1 % or more of the genetic variance (NtopQTL), and number of NtopQTLs identified by a top marker window distant no more than 1 Mb from a NtopQTL (NtrueQTL)
