Figure 2.

For each of the seven meat quality traits, a quantile-quantile (Q-Q) plot of the results derived without adjustment for the inflation factor (λ) are shown in black. Results derived using the genomic control (GC) procedure are shown in blue. SNPs for which the test statistic exceeds 25 are represented by triangles. A, B, C, D, E, F and G refer to Q-Q plots for IMF, marbling, moisture, color L*, color a*, color b* and color score, respectively. Results indicated that population stratification was reduced to a certain degree by using the GC method.
