F ST -values and frequencies of the major allele of the sequence of the captured region. In order to define the chromosomal segment that segregates with the polled phenotype within the sequenced region obtained by sequence capture, frequencies of the polled major allele were estimated in both groups (polled vs. horned) separately and averaged over 20-kb sliding windows (black: polled and gray: horned). F ST -values (red curve) were estimated based on the allele frequencies of the same 20-kb windows. The gray box outlines F ST -values that are higher than 0.3159 (mean F ST -value plus one standard deviation). In addition, the position of the RXFP2 gene is indicated as a black line below the curves (thin line: introns and thick line: exons). The insertion polymorphism is indicated as a red line on the edge of RXFP2. From left to right, the positions of SNPs rs421908034 (3′-UTR), rs414104606 (exon14) and OAR_29511510.1/rs413264476 (intron 11) are indicated with arrows
