Estimates of heritability of the studied traits for each Bayesian genomic model and effect (i) polygenic background (pedigree information) and all informative markers (GS model), and (ii) polygenic background, QTL-genotype effects (determined by GWAS) and SNP markers that were not associated with any trait (GSq model). ${\hat{h}}_{a}^{2}$ corresponds to the pedigree-based estimated heritability. ${\hat{h}}_{m}^{2}$ is the heritability estimate based on a set of markers that were not found to be significantly associated with a trait (GSq) or all SNP markers (GS), ${\hat{h}}_{q}^{2}$ represents the heritability estimates based on a set of SNPs significantly associated with a trait.
