Results from the genome-wide association study (GWAS) performed for the two indicator traits of parasite resistance analyzed. Analyzed traits: LFEC Log-transformed faecal egg count, IgA t Box-Cox-transformed optical density ratio (ODR) values of immunoglobulin A activity. The values of the log(1/P-value) are shown for all the 43,613 SNPs that passed the quality control. For the chromosomes that harbor significant SNP associations, the horizontal lines indicate the 5 % chromosome-wise significance threshold obtained by applying a Bonferroni correction considering the number of independent SNPs analyzed for each chromosome. The genome-wise significance threshold, considering the number of independent markers analyzed for the entire genome is also represented
