1For the dairy population, the records are represented as deregressed proofs. The average reliability of deregressed proofs is reported inside parenthesis. 2For beef populations, association studies with SSA-NoCor, EMMAX, and GBLUP-GWAS were performed only with genotypes for the sex that had records.
