The total number of CNVs, the number of CNVs derived from the 50 CNVs of all three detection programs (intersection) and the number of animals which showed these CNVs in at least one algorithm is displayed. The last two columns show the more stringent category with the number of CNVs that were detected in the same horse in all three algorithms and with the number of horses under these conditions.
