dEBV_v: deregressed EBV for residual variance of yearling weight; dEBV_{v_r0} and ln_${\mathrm{\sigma }}_{\widehat{\mathrm{e}}}^2$: deregressed EBV for residual variance and log-transformed variance of estimated residuals, respectively, both assuming null genetic correlation between mean and residual variance

^a Represented by chromosome (Chr) and physical position (in Mb) (i.e. Chr_Mb)

^b Proportion of genetic variance in each 1-Mb window

^c Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) with the highest Bayes Factor (BF) within each 1-Mb window
