*BTA, Bos taurus autosome number; SNP, name of single nucleotide polymorphism. No SNP <10^-5 is the number of SNPs within the QTL with a p-value ≤ 1 × 10^-5. P-value is the p-value of strongest SNP association. + Allele is the allele that had a positive SNP effect on gestation length. No of genes is the number of genes in the QTL. If no gene was present in the QTL the nearest functional candidate gene within 250 kb was chosen. ^aintergenic, ^bdownstream gene variant, ^cintronic, ^†gene in which the most significant SNP within the QTL was identified in.
