Half-sib analysis indicated strong evidence for QTL influencing meat quality traits on SSC15. Highly significant QTL for meat quality traits were identified on SSC15. Confidence interval for protein percentage was estimated by 10,000 bootstrap permutations as 77–85 cM (gray bar). Marker positions are shown as triangles on the X-axis (black, markers used for both QTL scans and genotyped only in 510 animals; green, markers used for both QTL scans and genotyped in all animals; red, markers used for second scan only and genotyped in all animals). Horizontal lines indicate significance thresholds (lower line, 5% FDR; upper line, 1% FDR).
