TABLE 4.
Mean and standard deviation (inside brackets) of the FST statistics considering all (FSTAll) and only the selected (FSTSelected) single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) for the contrasted sheep populations.

1Norwegian White Sheep (NWS) was contrasted with different 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). SNP with FST values greater than the average plus three standard deviations were selected.
