¹Bovine chromosome and n^th 1-Mb window within the same chromosome starting at 0 Mb and based on the UMD3.1 assembly.
²The Cycle VII population was genotyped with the BovineSNP50 assay while the other populations were genotyped with the BovineSNP50 and BovineHD assays and imputed to the BovineHD content using Beagle 4.0.
