¹Brahman are indicine cattle developed in the US as a composite of Nelore, Gir, Guzerat and Indu Brazil cattle originating in India but imported primarily from Brazil. The remaining breeds are taurine.
²Number of contiguous loci spanning at least 200 kb and with a minor allele frequency ≤ 0.01 required to declare a selective sweep region in each breed.
