Significant KEGG pathways identified for each trait in a multi-breed population of beef cattle following meta-analysis of GWAS results.
| Trait | Biological Process | B-H P-value | Number of genes |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADG | Thyroid hormone signalling pathway | 0.010 | 20 |
| ADG | cGMP-PKG signalling pathway | 0.011 | 25 |
| ADG | Vascular smooth muscle contraction | 0.015 | 18 |
| ADG | Retrograde endocannabinoid signalling pathway | 0.013 | 18 |
| ADG | Focal adhesion | 0.027 | 27 |
| ADG | cAMP signalling pathway | 0.026 | 26 |
| ADG | Adherens junction | 0.029 | 13 |
| FI | Axon guidance | 0.001 | 23 |
| FI | Thyroid hormone signalling pathway | 0.015 | 19 |
B-H P-value: Benjamini-Hochberg corrected P-value; ADG: average daily gain; FI: feed intake. Pathways were designated as significant if they reached Benjamini-Hochberg corrected P < 0.05.
