The sentences
This QTL hotspot on SSC 12 harbored additional extremely significant QTLs which explained more than 10% of phenotypic variances: the QTL for C18:2 was found with an F -value of 90.4 (nominal p-value 1.1×10 −36 ) and accounted for 15.9% of phenotypic variance, while the QTL for C20:4 was found with an F -value of 159.7 (nominal p-value 5.7× 10 −34 ) and explained 14.3% of phenotypic variance.
