¹ SSC is the swine chromosome.

² Position based on the pig genome sequence assembly Nov. 2009 (SGSC Sscrofa9.2/susScr2).

³ Candidate gene or gene located nearest the amplicon.

⁴ Name of the marker in the USMARC database.

⁵ The correction for multiple tests was performed by multiplying the P from the association analysis with the number of markers (n = 47).

⁶ Position based on BAC End sequence.
