From: A genome-wide perspective about the diversity and demographic history of seven Spanish goat breeds
Runs of homozygosity (ROH) identified for 12 caprine populations. The number of ROH found for each individual genome (y-axis) is plotted against ROH total size (i.e. the number of Mb covered by ROH in each genome, x-axis). We analysed goats from Spain (Bermeya, Blanca de Rasquera, Malagueña, Murciano-Granadina, Florida, Palmera and Mallorquina), Tunisia, Burkina Faso (Sahel and Djallonké), Romania (Carpathian) and Switzerland (Saanen). For the Mallorquina and Blanca de Rasquera breeds, we observed many individuals with a large number of ROH (>40) and that a substantial fraction of the genome is covered by ROH (>400 Mb). In contrast, for the Palmera breed, the number of ROH is relatively large (20 to 40) but the fraction of the genome covered by ROH is quite small (<400 Mb)
