Table 1 Comparison of the linear relationship between observed heterozygosity and genetic distances of populations to Gallus gallus ssp. for different classes of SNPs

From: Genetic diversity in global chicken breeds in relation to their genetic distances to wild populations

SNP class	Number of SNPs	R²	Slope	SE of slope
Overall SNPs	156,753	0.886	− 0.706	0.010
Non-synonymous	1082	0.880	− 0.645	0.009
Synonymous	3891	0.893	− 0.708	0.010
Exonic	5959	0.891	− 0.694	0.009
Intronic	71,175	0.888	− 0.711	0.010
5′UTR	118	0.830	− 0.674	0.012
3′UTR	1383	0.875	− 0.686	0.010
Upstream	11,559	0.881	− 0.710	0.010
Downstream	8777	0.883	− 0.707	0.010
Intergenic	57,782	0.884	− 0.701	0.010

The number of exonic SNPs is the sum of non-synonymous and synonymous SNPs plus the coding and non-coding exonic SNPs, which were assigned to neither the non-synonymous nor the synonymous classes. All R² values are significant, p < 0.001. SE standard error
