Fig. 3. Comparison of genomic content across the genomes.

A High-quality (NOVEL) sequence specific to, or shared among, each non-reference genome. Numbers represent the kilobases of non-Hereford sequence associated with the set of genomes defined by the group(s) highlighted in green. Each genome is indicated by a number (1 = Ankole, 2 = Angus, 3 = Brahman and 4 = N’Dama); B Multiple genome alignments of the MHC region on chromosome 23 generated with AliTV (v1.0.6)⁷⁵. The plot represents the shared sequences among the different genomes; blue to green segments are representative of higher to lower similarity (100 to 70% respectively); the enlarged region is the MHC region, which shows a large amount of variation between the assemblies.
