Supplementary material of: Impact of genomic selection on genetic diversity in five local European cattle breeds.

This paper investigates the impact of genomic selection on genetic diveristy of five local cattle breeds from three European countries. The five breeds evaluated are Meuse Rhine Yssel (MRY; from the Netherlands), Norwegian Red (from Norway), Abondance, Tarentaise, and Vosgienne (from France). We investigated changes in population demographic structure, as well as trends and rates of kinship and inbreeding, using both pedigree- and genomic-based measures. The population size varied depending on the breed, with Vosgienne being the smallest and Norwegian Red being the largest. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) genotypes were available for 4,645 MRY, 193,489 Norwegian Red, 16,387 Abondance, 8,578 Tarentaise, and 4,472 Vosgienne animals. Animals were genotyped with more than 40,000 SNPs. For a detail description please refer to the full paper.
