Figure 1. Cattle genetic differences: (a) a Tropical Composite (left) and a Brahman bull (right).

Figure 1

(b) Distribution of indicine% across the two samples showing a mode at ∼30% for Tropical Composite (red) and ∼95% for Brahman (blue) cattle. (c) Multi-dimensional scaling plot showing a clustering of the Brahman (blue) and Tropical Composite (red) cattle relative to the reference samples of Angus (black) and Nelore (green). (d) Genetic relationship matrices based on genotype similarity among individuals for Tropical Composite (left) and Brahman (right) samples where the diagonal blocks show paternal half-sib families.
