Genome-Wide Scan Reveals LEMD3 and WIF1 on SSC5 as the Candidates for Porcine Ear Size
Figure 3
The marker-assisted segregation analysis for F1 boars.
The graphs show, for 6 F1 boars' half-sib pedigrees (700105, 706601, …, 730009), the phenotypic mean ± standard errors of the offspring sorted in two groups according to the homolog inherited from the sire. The number of offspring in each group is given above the error bars, respectively. The graph corresponds to the boars that were shown to be heterozygous Qq and reports a Z-score for each pedigree. Q alleles associated with a positive allele substitution effect on ear size are marked by a diamond, q alleles by a circle. The number within the symbols differentiates the Q and q alleles according to the associated marker genotype.
