Size-related QTL identified in two families (CC5 and CC10) of bay scallop.

SL, shell length; SH, shell height; TW, total weight; PVE, percentage of phenotypic variance explained by the QTL; association between four parental genotypes (f1m1, f2m1, f1m2, f2m2) of markers nearest each QTL peak and mean phenotypic values of each trait was tested by Kruskal-Wallis analysis.#Confidence interval at 95% significance;†linkage-group-wide;‡genome wide;*PPPPPSL（壳长，shell length）、SH（壳高，shell height）、TW（总重量，total weight）、PVE（数量性状基因座（QTL，quantitative trait locus）所解释的表型方差百分比）；针对邻近每个QTL峰值的标记的四种亲本基因型（f1m1、f2m1、f1m2、f2m2）与各性状平均表型值之间的关联，采用克鲁斯卡尔-沃利斯检验（Kruskal-Wallis analysis）进行统计检验。# 95%显著性置信区间；† 连锁群范围；‡ 全基因组范围；*PPPPP
