1Bos taurus chromosome (BTA) location of the locus

2Region associated locus is located in (in Mb) as measured by numbered nucleotides in reference to the UMD 3.1 genome assembly (http://bovinegenome.org/?q=node/61; accessed 15 September 2016)

3The citation number for each study a locus was previously associed in is listed

4Traits previously associated with loci abbreviated as follows: AISC - number of inseminations to conception in cows; AISC - number of inseminations to conception in heifers; CI - calving interval; HCR1 - conception rate to first insemination in heifers; DFS - days to first service; DPR - daughter pregnancy rate; FTI - fertility index; HCR - heifer conception rate; ICF - interval (in days) from calving to first insemination; IFLC - days from first to last insemination in cows; NRRC - 56 day non return rate in cows; NRRH - 56 day non return rate in heifers; P28- pregnancy success at day 28 post embryo transfer; P42 - pregnancy success within first 42 days of mating; TBRD - number of times bred to conception. If multiple traits are listed from different studies the citation number for study is listed in superscript brackets

5Cattle breeds loci were previously identified are listed with the country or region the population was from indicated in superscript as follows: Australia - A; Canada - C; Ireland - I; Nordic - N; United States - U

6Phenotype of the current study the loci was associated with: conception rate at first AI service - CCR1 and TBRD
