BMC Research Notes

Table 3 Effect of the SNP genotypes on marbling and subcutaneous fat thickness in experiment 2

		Breeding value*
Genotype	No. of animals	Marbling score	Subcutaneous fat thickness (mm)
TT	149	3.42^a ± 0.08	-0.33 ± 0.36
CT	378	3.22^b ± 0.06	-0.22 ± 0.25
CC	321	3.19^b ± 0.06	-0.05 ± 0.27

*The breeding values are given as least squares means ± SE.
^{a, b}Means at different genotypes without a common letter in their superscripts significantly differ (P < 0.05).
