After publication of this work in the original article, in response to a comment by a reader of our article who noticed errors on the Manhattan plots, we would like to provide the correct information. On the original paper, the SNP effects were plotted instead of the Bayes factor. Please see Figs. 1 and 2 for the correct information. In addition, we would like to provide the heritability coefficients for age at first calving (0.20) and heifer rebreeding (0.18). We are sorry for any inconvenience.
