Genome-wide distribution of SNPs between high and low estimated breeding value populations in piglets. (A) A global view of F_ST value distributions on pig autosomes 1 - 18 and sex chromosome X. A representative DSR (region 8 of SSC6) with 7 top significant 0.1% and 31 top significant 5% SNPs was indicated. (B) Smoothed F_ST estimates in region 8 of SSC6 showing the strong selection signals between the HEBV and LEBV groups. (C) Gene allele frequencies of each locus in region 8 of SSC6 between the HEBV and LEBV groups. HEBV: high estimated breeding value; LEBV: low estimated breeding value.
