From: A genome-wide perspective about the diversity and demographic history of seven Spanish goat breeds

Fig. 4

Classification of ROH in seven categories (x-axis) according to size (from 1 to 5 Mb to more than 30 Mb) and mean sum of ROH (y-axis, measured in megabases) within each ROH category and averaged per breed. We analysed 12 caprine populations from Spain (Bermeya, Blanca de Rasquera, Malagueña, Murciano-Granadina, Florida, Palmera and Mallorquina), Tunisia, Burkina Faso (Sahel and Djallonké), Romania (Carpathian) and Switzerland (Saanen). This figure shows that for the Mallorquina breed, the mean sum of ROH with sizes greater than 30 Mb is several times larger than that for the remaining breeds. In contrast, in Palmera goats, ROH with sizes between 5 to 10 and 10 to 15 Mb display the largest mean sums (>60 Mb for each category)
