Dry matter intake (DMI) QTL. The top pane of each composite panel reflects a Manhattan plot with EMMAX –log10 P-values for Illumina 778K markers, whereas the bottom pane depicts the estimated proportion of variance explained (PVE) by marker effects. Lead and supporting SNPs for moderate (1.0% < PVE < 2.0%) or large-effect QTL (PVE ≥ 2.0%) with P ≤ 5e-05 and MAF ≥ 0.01 are shown at or above the red line for U.S. Angus (a; n = 706), Hereford (b; n = 846), and SimAngus (c; n = 1218) beef cattle. The pseudo-autosomal region of BTAX is not depicted. A summary of all markers meeting the nominal significance level and MAF cutoff are presented in Additional File 1. Bovine 778K QTL criteria are described in Methods
