FIGURE 1.
The pattern of allele frequency of SNP1 (A), SNP2 (C) and SNP3 (E) of DSG3 has continuously changed from sea level at 30 m (LN goat population) to the elevation at 4700 m (RT goat population). Blue, a frequency of the mutant allele, Green, a frequency of a reference allele in each goat population, respectively. The plot of the correlation analysis between major allele frequency of SNP1 (B), SNP2 (D) and SNP3 (F) and sampling locations of 10 cashmere goat populations, r represents the correlation coefficient (r = 0.8529, P < 0.05). Asterisks (∗∗) represents very significantly.
