[i] The information content at the location of the QTL and the markers flanking the QTL peak are also given.

[ii] Abbreviations: GGC, Gallus gallus chromosome; Pos, estimated chromosomal position based on the results from all traits; LM/RM, left/right marker flanking QTL interval (LM = RM if the QTL peak is located at a marker); Name, name of QTL region; G1–G13 as previously reported (S. Kerje, Ö. Carlborg, K. Schütz, L. Jacobsson, C. Hartmann, P. Jensen, and L. Andersson, in prep.) and Ep1–17 for unique epistatic growth QTL region; IC-a/d, information content for the additive/dominance regression indicator variables at the QTL peak; Bw1/8/46/112/200, body weight at 1/. ./200 days of age; Gr18/846/46112/112200, growth from 1 to 8, 8 to 46, 46 to 112, and 112 to 200 days of age; F, QTL only mapped using forward selection; S, QTL only mapped using SIM; FS, QTL mapped using both forward selection and SIM. ^a/b/c, QTL significant at 5%, 10%, and 20% genome-wide significance threshold; QTL, quantitative trait loci.
