Estimates of observed heterozygosity were 0.27, 0.28, and 0.29, and inbreeding coefficients estimated based on runs of homozygosity were 24.11%, 20.82%, and 16.34% for Blond, Swallow-bellied and Red Mangalitsa, respectively. Also, 20 Hungarian Mangalitsa genotypes were included as outgroup data for comparison. The analyses were originally based on quality-controlled data on 77 Mangalitsa animals from Germany, including 23 Blond, 30 Swallow-bellied and 24 Red Mangalitsa genotyped with a customized version of the ProcineSNP60 v2 Genotyping Bead Chip. The current study investigated genome-wide diversity and selection signatures in the three breeds using fixation index, runs of homozygosity and population structure analyses. Mangalitsa pigs exhibit three distinct coat color patterns based on which they are described as Red, Blond, and Swallow-bellied. Animal Breeding Section, University of Kassel, Witzenhausen, Germany.
