¹The concentration of fatty acids is expressed as a percentage of total fatty acid methyl esters (FAME). A: pedigree. G: additive genomic kernel relationship matrix. G + D: additive × dominance genomic kernel relationship matrix. G + G#G: additive × epistasis genomic kernel relationship matrix. G + D + G#G: additive × dominance × epistasis genomic kernel relationship matrix. ${\sigma }_u^2:$ additive genetic variance; ${\sigma }_g^2:$ additive genomic variance; ${\sigma }_d^2$: dominance genomic variance; ${\sigma }_{g\mathrm{\#}g}^2$: additive by additive epistasis genomic variance; ${\sigma }_e^2:$ residual variance. Posterior standard errors are shown in the parentheses.
