TABLE 3.

Path analysis using the correlation data for 7,969 Brangus animals with two ancestral breeds (Angus and Brahman) as the reference and three SNP panels (1K, 5K, and 10K).

Statistics		GGP30K/GGP 40K			GGP 50K

The Brangus animals were genotyped on either GGP 30K/GGP 40K bovine SNP chip or GGP 50K bovine SNP chip, respectively. The correlation of allele A frequencies between Angus (A) and Brahman (B) computed for the three SNP panels was r_AB = 0.051 (1K), 0.062 (5K) and 0.090 (10K).
