Intervals were selected as the 300 non-overlapping intervals that explained most genetic variance (top300) or 300 randomly selected intervals (random300), the black dots show how many of the intervals containing at least one eQTL (nE) contain a variant that is associated with the eQTL and whose genotype correlates with the local GEBV of the interval (nEG), the blue dots show how many of the intervals with a significant correlation between local GEBV and gene expression (nC) contain an eQTL (nEC) that is correlated with the local GEBV of the interval, with consistent directions of effects (nEGC), WBC white blood cells, milk milk yield, fat fat yield, prot protein yield, fatPerc fat percentage, protPerc protein percentage, fert fertility
