Characterization of bovine MHC DRB3 diversity in global cattle breeds, with a focus on cattle in Myanmar

BMC Genomic Data

Table 2 Sample size (N), number of alleles (n_a), observed (h_o) and expected (h_e) heterozygosity, Hardy Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) measured through F_IS and Slatkin’s exact test in the cattle breeds studied. F_IS p-values are indicated between parentheses. Significant p values are indicated in bold
