Data from Genome-wide scan for selection signatures in Mexican Sardo Negro Zebu cattle

The sampled Sardo Negro animals included 40 males and 518 females born between 2013 and 2019 in six farms in Mexico's tropical areas. Tail hair samples were collected from each bovine and submitted for genotyping with a 65k SNP chip (Axiom Bovine Genotyping v3 Array). Quality controls on animals and markers of the set were performed using the PLINK software version 1.90 (Purcell et al., 2007) according to the following parameters: minimum SNP call rate of 90%, minor allele frequencies > 0.01, only autosomal SNPs were considered, and only individuals with high genotyping (at least 90% complete call rate) were included.
