Two types of errors were observed in the genotyping assays, 1: genotype failed (--) when -3=G (yellow highlights), 2: wrong genotypes when -3=R and 0=Y (purple highlights).</p> <p><b><br></b></p><p><b>Figure S1</b> Distribution (%) of MSAT and SNP based poll gene testing results for Horned (HH), Hybrid (HP), Polled (PP) and failing (“Not Determined” or “No Results” ) samples across 10 Australian beef breeds (n=16,941).</p> <p><b><br></b></p><p><b>Figure S2</b> Breed-wise distribution (%) of Optimized Poll Testing (OPT) assay results (HH = Horned, HP = Hybrids, PP = Polled, No Results = Failed assay) in first column and Allele Frequencies (AF) of Horn (H), Poll-Celtic (P<sub>C</sub>) and Poll-Friesian (P<sub>F</sub>) mutations in column 2 across ten Australian beef breeds (n = 16,903). Note that presence of H alleles in Angus and P<sub>C</sub>/P<sub>F</sub> alleles in Wagyu is indicative of cross-bred individuals. Overall, the results show that polled animals of Australian beef breeds predominantly carry P<sub>C</sub> as compared to P<sub>F</sub>, except for Shorthorn.</p> <p><b><br></b></p><p><b>Data 1</b> Validation population phenotypes and Poll markers genotypes data file: Data_1_project_validation_populations_phenotypes_and_poll_locus_SNPs.csv</p> <p><b><br></b></p><p><b>Data 2 </b>Commercial population Poll markers genotypes and BREEDPLAN phenotypes data file: </p> Data_2_project_poll_locus_10_SNPs_genotypes_and_BREEDPLAN_phenotypes.csv
