Figure 3.

Position of eQTL of probe-sets that show trait-correlated expression and that are located on the same chromosome (SSC5 to 8) as the corresponding genes. Left: physical map with positions of microsatellite markers (red) and genes (black) represented by the probe-sets Mb according to the Sscrofa9 genome sequence; Right: sex-averaged linkage maps of SSC 1 to 4 with positions of microsatellite markers and eQTL of corresponding probe-sets in cM; Both maps are linked based on the microsatellite marker positions (red and bold). Meat quality traits, with which the expression levels of probe-sets are correlated, are presented in brackets. Trait abbreviations are given at table 2.
