*Sample size reduced to 25 most unrelated cats within a breed or population except for the wildcats for LD estimates. No LD was estimated for populations less than 20 individuals or the pedigree populations (Colony, TREX, LYK, and HYD), including 21 populations represented by 597 individuals.
†SNP number does not include X chromosome SNPs.
The reported values for MAF, observed heterozygosity, and inbreeding coefficient are means.
