Additive and dominance effects of candidate SNPs on feed efficiency traits1
| SNP | Effect size 2 | RFI (g/d) | ADFI (g/d) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2_45795056 | additive | 1.39±0.12 | -0.01±1.06** |
| dominance | 1.88±0.19 | 0.13±0.04 | |
| 6_21123592 | additive | -0.81±1.79 | 2.67±1.42 |
| dominance | -2.99±5.98** | 0.93±6.13** |
1 The superscript * means P < 0.05, ** means P < 0.01
2 The additive effect (a) was calculated as: (AA-BB)/2, the dominance effect (d) was calculated as: AB-[(AA+BB)/2], AA and BB represent the respective homozygous genotypes, while AB represents the heterozygous genotype
