Parentage SNP selection criteria for use in globally diverse breeds of sheep.

aMAF greater than or equal to 0.3 in the specified group.bSee Materials and Methods for description of sets.cLarge blocks of repeats (>1 kb) in nearby sequence precludes the production of unique 750 bp PCR fragments for Sanger sequencing, and thus hinders independent validation of genotypes.dNearby SNPs and indels identified within approximately 350 bp of the parentage SNP.eDescribed in Materials and Methods.
