Figure 1. Simulation of three-way crossbreeding system and validation of the accuracy of PHS.

Figure 1

(A–F) Three kinds of simulated three-way crossbreeding systems among Duroc, Landrace and Yorkshire pigs. (G) The distribution of SNP number of simulated offspring of three kinds of three-way crossbreeding for 20 equal intervals (based on PHS, from 0% to 100%, with intervals of 5%). Pearson’s r was inferred between each two kinds of three-way crossbreeding systems. (H) Principal component analysis (PCA) of the three pig breeds using ~12.56M population-scale SNPs. (I) Validation of PHS. Percentages of heterozygous SNPs of each pig for 20 equal intervals (based on PHS of simulated DLY offspring, from 0% to 100%, with intervals of 5%) were calculated. Pearson’s r was inferred for each comparison between simulated DLY offspring (red line) and sequenced pig individual. (A–C) Source credit: Li et al. (2017), licensed under CC BY-NC 4.0.
