From: Single nucleotide variant discovery of highly inbred Leghorn and Fayoumi chicken breeds using pooled whole genome resequencing data reveals insights into phenotype differences

Fig. 1

Chromosome 16 variants/10 kilobase (kb) in Fayoumi/Leghorn vs. RJF and Fayoumi vs. Leghornized reference. Shape of the graph shows the amount of variability still present on chromosome 16 despite high levels of homozygosity for each population vs. the reference genome and for the Fayoumi vs. Leghorn alternate reference. The MHC regions are highlighted to show differences in variation possibly related to the difference in pathogen resistance between the two populations. The y-axis represents variants, x-axis position, and the dashed lines show peak heights for the first 250 Kb of the chromosome. Fayoumi vs. leghorn alternate reference is based on SNV comparison only
