Figure 1

Genomic distribution of QTL. The distribution of the QTL detected in the Hohenheim crosses (M: Meishan; P: Pietrain; W: European wild boar) and with F ratio values above the genome-wide thresholds P = 0.05 is shown on the pig chromosomes (SSC); for each cross, the sex-averaged map in Kosambi morgan (M) is adjusted to the length calculated for the Hohenheim M × P cross; results for SSCX were obtained from female animals; the different symbols for the three trait groups represent major QTL peaks (black) and minor QTL peaks (red) that show distances > 20 cM to the major peak and to other minor peak observed for the same trait.
