Effects of the top associated variants on expression of the PAEP locus. a Relationship between cow genotypes (n = 34) of the top associated variant (Chr11_103304509_T_C; rs110992345) and expression of PAEP. The Y-axis denotes the expression of PAEP relative to the sum of expression of the five other milk protein genes. The red dot represents the mean expression value within each group. b ASE for 15 cows heterozygous for seven exonic SNPs (position shown in bp on BTA11) within the PAEP gene. The X-axis shows mean normalised counts (× 1000) per haplotype allele. Haplotype A is coloured black, and haplotype B is coloured grey. c The relationship between the two β-LG protein variants and the percentage of β-LG measured in 136 milk samples. The red dot represents the mean expression value within each group
