Demographic history of domestic breeds and wild boars in China and Europe. The demographic history of wild boars and domesticate pigs populations was inferred using a hidden Markov model approach as implemented in multiple sequentially Markovian coalescence based on SNP distribution. In the absence of known mutation rates for pig, we used the default mutation rate for human of 2.5 × 10⁻⁸. For the generation time we used an estimate of 5 years. The data for human’s effective population size refer to previous research⁵¹. (a) Demographic history of domestic breeds and wild boars in Chinese region. 2 individuals were used to indicate the group (2 Rongchang pigs, CHD; 2 North China wild boars, CHW). (b) Demographic history of domestic breeds and wild boars in European region. 2 individuals were used to indicate the group (2 Pietrain pigs, EUD; 2 Netherlands wild boars, EUW).
