Fig. 1: Genetic diversity and differentiation of the camel populations.

a Nucleotide diversity π. The boxplot shows π for 2.0 × 105 10 kb-sliding windows across the genome. The geographic origin and sample size of each population are shown on the left and the average of π are shown on the right. Multiple local breeds were sampled for MG, IMG, and XJ. Individuals with close genetic relationships were removed. The boxplot elements are defined as follows: center line, median; box limits, the third and first quartiles; whiskers, 1.5 × interquartile range. b Pairwise population differentiation Fst. The heatmap represents average Fst for 2.0 × 105 10 kb-sliding windows. The dendrogram represents hierarchical clustering of the populations based on Fst.
