Whole-genome sequencing of cryopreserved resources from French Large White pigs at two distinct sampling times reveals strong signatures of convergent and divergent selection between the dam and sire lines

Table 2 Typology of the categories of signatures of selection

The upper part of the table summarizes the behavior of the four test statistics for each category of signatures of selection: symbol XX indicates a significant value (note that for time-LWS and time-LWD, significance is assessed by the local score approach), while symbol X indicates a suggestive but non-significant value. The lower part of the table indicates the categories of signatures of selection that are expected for a given trait category: symbol XX corresponds to the most likely signature and symbol X to other possible signatures. These expectations rely on the assumption that each signature of selection arises from selection at a single locus, i.e. they overlook the fact that signatures of selection may arise from the selection of multiple QTL segregating in the same genomic region
