MOESM1 of GWAS analyses reveal QTL in egg layers that differ in response to diet differences

Additional file 1. QTL detected using the whole dataset to determine the genetic architecture of egg production and egg quality traits. This file gives the position of all the QTL detected using the whole dataset, with the top SNP corresponding to the SNP with the highest effect in the QTL region. The QTL is defined by the first (left) and last (right) SNPs that are 1 % significant at the chromosome level, respectively. Var (%) is the percentage of variance explained by the top SNP in the analysis with the whole dataset. Var LE(%) is the percentage of variance explained by the top SNP in the analysis with data for the low-energy diet only. Var HE(%) is the percentage of variance explained by the top SNP in the analysis with data for the high-energy diet only. Var 50(%) is the percentage of variance explained by the top SNP in the analysis with data for egg collection at 50 weeks only. Var 70(%) is the percentage of variance explained by the top SNP in the analysis with data for egg collection at 70 weeks only. Z Diet is the Z test statistics used to compare the two estimates calculated from the data for LE and HE diets. Z Age is the Z test statistics used to compare the two estimates calculated from the data for egg collection at 50 and 70 weeks of age. The difference was significant when P < 0.1 *, P < 0.05 ** and P < 0.01***
