Population structure based on the genetic variation in the 11 core breeds genotyped for five SNP markers at the NCAPG-LCORL locus. (A) Elbow method-based analysis of cross-validation (CV) error values depending on number of ancestral populations (K). (B) Admixture bar plots generated by Bayesian clustering using the ADMIXTURE program. Each admixture plot represents a cluster structure of the studied breeds/breed types depending on number of ancestral populations (K), with the latter being optimal at K = 5. Core breeds: RWG Russian White, LLB Leghorn Light Brown, PB Pantsirevka Black, PRB Plymouth Rock Barred, Ts Tsarskoye Selo, PC Poltava Clay, ABS Australorp Black Speckled, AoB Australorp Black, Pm Pervomai, YC Yurlov Crower, WC × (BL × SL) White Cornish × (Brahma Light × Sussex Light).
