Figure 4. Runs of homozygosity (RoH) in the genomes of Xerces Blue and Silvery Blue (modern and historical).

(a) Percentage of the autosomal genome in RoH by size bins: very short RoH (<100 kb), short RoH (100–500 kb), intermediate RoH (500 kb to 1 Mb), and long (1–5 Mb). Short RoH reflect LD patterns, intermediate size RoH describe background inbreeding due to genetic drift, and long RoH appear in the case of very recent inbreeding due to consanguinity. Error bars show the standard deviation. (b) Distribution of RoH in the autosomal genome of a Xerces specimen, L05. (c) Distribution of RoH in the autosomal genome of a Silvery specimen L13.
