The genomic legacy of aurochs hybridisation in ancient and modern Iberian cattle
Figures

Data overview and descriptive ancestry analysis.
(A) Map of Europe showing the Iberian sampling sites (red circles, size proportional to sample sizes) and the sites for published aurochs genomes used in the analysis (blue diamonds). (B) Non-metric multi-dimensional scaling (NMDS) ordination of nuclear data of Iberian samples considered B. taurus samples (orange), Iberian samples that were morphologically considered B. primigenius (red), other Iberian Bos samples (brown), ancient domestic cattle from the Balkans and Anatolia (yellow), and aurochs (blue). Data point shape corresponds to mitochondrial haplogroups. (C) f4 statistic measuring allele sharing of the Iberian samples with European aurochs (Bed3) or Anatolian Neolithic cattle (Sub1). Error bars indicate 95% confidence intervals estimated using a block jackknife procedure. The time periods displayed are contextual.

Development of aurochs ancestry over time.
Estimates of aurochs ancestry (estimated using the f4 ratio with Bed3 as European aurochs source) in directly dated post-Mesolithic Iberian samples over time. Error bars indicate the 95% confidence interval estimated using a block-jackknife procedure. Modern Iberian whole-genome sequenced Lidia individuals are added around date 0 with some horizontal jitter. Approximate boundaries for the main sampling periods are indicated by dashed vertical lines.

Comparison of f4 ratio estimated aurochs ancestry of post-Mesolithic Iberian samples on the autosomes vs X chromosomes.
Error bars indicate the 95% confidence interval estimated using a block jackknife procedure.

qpAdm estimates of aurochs ancestry in modern Western European cattle breeds from the Upadhyay et al., 2017, dataset.
Commercial breeds are marked with a ‘C’. The figure is only showing breeds with feasible and non-rejected two-source models, as all results are shown in Appendix 2—table 1. Error bars are showing block-jackknife estimates of the 95% confidence interval.

f4 statistics contrasting our newly sequenced samples to a reference domestic individual and a reference European aurochs.
The f4 statistics were calculated for two different versions of the bam files: with rescaled bases in fragment ends vs untreated bam files but an SNP panel excluding transitions. The blue line indicates a linear regression with confidence interval. Error bars indicate 95% confidence intervals estimated using a block jackknife procedure.

f4ratios estimating European aurochs ancestry in our newly sequenced Iberian samples.
The f4 ratios were calculated for two different versions of the bam files: with rescaled bases in fragment ends vs untreated bam files but an SNP panel excluding transitions. The right panel shows the standard errors for the f4 ratio estimates, the dashed line would correspond to equal standard errors for the two panels. Error bars indicate 95% confidence intervals estimated using a block jackknife procedure.

Tables
European aurochs ancestry proportions in post-Mesolithic Iberian Bos samples.
Square brackets are showing block-jackknife estimates of the 95% confidence interval. f4 ratio and qpAdm are using Bed3 as source of European aurochs ancestry unless noted otherwise. Footnotes are added when deviations from the two-source model were needed. Struct-f4 was run in semi-supervised mode to estimate ancestry in the Iberian samples with K=5 as the different ancestries separated at this point. Only individuals with at least 0.1× coverage were included in this analysis to ensure convergence. LNCA = Late Neolithic/Chalcolithic.
