For each QTL, the linkage group (LG), likelihood of odds (LOD), name of marker(s) with the highest LOD score, genetic map position in centiMorgans (cM), phenotypic means for each genotype class (mean ± SD), and percentage variance explained (PVE) are provided. See text for neuromast line abbreviations.
