Candidate selective sweeps in taurine and indicine cattle. a Population differentiation index (FST) and relative nucleotide diversity between taurine and indicine cattle in genome-wide 20-kb genomic bins. Outlier bins that show evidence of selection in taurine breeds (blue) and indicine breeds (red). b Genome-wide distribution of relative nucleotide diversity. Positive and negative values represent candidate sweeps in taurine and indicine cattle, respectively. Outliner bins are coloured in red. c IGV screenshot of chr5: 47,526,093–48,203,280. In red, the 430 kb long selective sweep in Asian indicine cattle: spanning GRIP1, HELB, IRAK3, ENSBTAG00000026993, LLPH, and part of HMGA2. In green, a selective sweep in GRIP1 in European taurine cattle. In blue, the 6.2 kb tandem duplication HMGA2-CNVR reported by [53].
