Genomic patterns of homozygosity in a selected set of populations specialized in either dairy or meat traits with a small (blue) and large (red) size, b subject to a moderate/strong (blue) or mild (red) selection and c crossbred (blue) and purebred (red) genetic composition. The total length of the genome covered by ROH and the total number of ROH are plotted on the x- and y-axis, respectively.
