TABLE 2.
Average distance between single nucleotide polymorphisms (Dist, in Mb), average linkage disequilibrium (LD), consistency of gametic phase (GP), proportion of polymorphic SNPs (Polim,%), observed (HO) and expected (HE) heterozygosity, average pairwise genetic distance (DST), and inbreeding coefficients estimated based on excess of homozygosity (FE), variance of additive genotypes (FG), and runs of homozygosity (FROH), for Norwegian White Sheep (NWS) and New Zealand Composite sheep populations.

1Dist and LD were estimated between adjacent single nucleotide polymorphisms. 2GP was estimated in distances lower than 0.02 Mb, between NWS and New Zealand sheep populations. Sheep populations from New Zealand are: Finn, Primera, Texel, “Other Dual Purpose” (DP), Lamb Supreme (LambSup), and “Other Terminal Sire” (TS). Standard deviations in brackets.
