Table 6 Example of significant epistasis of the lead SNP BTA14_25Mb with SNPs BTA2_70715761 and BTA29_50068561) for post-weaning live weight (PW_lwt, kg)

From: Non-additive genetic variation in growth, carcass and fertility traits of beef cattle

	Lead SNP
	A allele	B allele
BTA2_70715761
A allele	0	3.732
B allele	−6.769	1.023^*
BTA5_103576732
A allele	0	3.25
B allele	−4.162	2.954^*

^*This was calculated as the sum of the effect of B allele of the lead SNP and the effect of the SNP and their interaction.
