Table 3.
Means and standard deviations for the parameter estimates, and goodness of fit(GOF) results based on convergence rate (C%), adjusted coefficient of determination (R2); mean square error (MSE); mean-absolute deviation for periods 1 (until 12 months–MAD1) and 2 (older than 12 months–MAD2), and Akaike's information criterion (AIC).
Fig 1.
Manhattan plots for the growth curve parameter mature weight (A) in Brahman cattle.
Chromosomes 1 to 29 and X are shown, separated by alternating colors. The corresponding horizontal lines indicate the genome-wide significance levels for both traits.
Fig 2.
Manhattan plots for the growth curve parameter maturity rate (K) in Brahman cattle.
Chromosomes 1 to 29 and X are shown, separated by alternating colors. The corresponding horizontal lines indicate the genome-wide significance levels for both traits.
