- Breed: FNC (Fjällnära Cattle), SMC (Fjäll also known as Swedish Mountain Cattle), SHF (Swedish Holstein–Friesian), SRC (Swedish Red Cattle), SRP (Swedish Red Polled)
- N samples: number of genotyped samples (i.e. before data quality control); note that according to data quality control, four samples (due to animal call-rate < 0.95) were removed, and principal component (PC) analyses, three samples (due to locating outside their expected breed cluster) were removed; resulting in 99 individuals for analyses of selection signatures
