The clusters of samples in the multi-origin ancestry group were ordered based on the fraction of each cluster assigned to the Straight Egyptian and Thoroughbred groups.
Local ancestry inference requires phased haplotype data as input. Local ancestry inference was conducted using RFMix A set of flat racing Arabian samples was identified as the putatively admixed group. The relatedness filter was applied in order to reduce the sample size of the non-racing Arabian reference group, given the smaller size of the other reference groups included in the analysis.
Otherwise, no assignment was made. Variant information, including coordinates and flanking regions, is given in Haplotypes and their phylogenetic relationship were reconstructed as described in Because the Y-haplotyping procedure requires both higher quality and a larger quantity of DNA, we were only able to perform Y-haplotype analysis for five of the 12 male racing Arabian samples included in the RFMix analysis Fig. In order to strengthen the analysis, we conducted the Y-haplotyping analysis for new samples from five male racing Arabians and 18 male non-racing Arabians.
Aggregation of several alternative methods to detect selection signatures has been suggested as a way of increasing the reliability of selection signature studies H values were estimated at each SNP position in the data set. All scans were run using default H-scan parameters.
The estimated values of each statistic were then given at the position of the center SNP of the window. H 12 values were estimated following the definition provided in We noted large peaks near the centromere of ECA 7 and 11 in many subgroups.
As these were also noted by Petersen et al. Selection scans were applied to 8 different sample groups. We also included origin-based groups for the three origin groups with sufficient sample size: Iran, Straight Egyptian, and Multi-origin Ancestry.
Samples with known performance use were excluded from these origin-based groups in order to avoid potentially confounding use-specific signals.

The high neck and the high tail give these thoroughbreds a majestic look. Arabian horses are bred in all shades, however they are most common as white horses. Thanks to their good-natured character and the fact that they easily form bonds with humans, they are popular horses for recreational riding.
The elegant animals are also often used as show horses due to their delicate appearance. After being replaced as racehorses by English thoroughbreds, these oriental horses have qualified for another discipline: endurance riding.
They have a far higher endurance than most other breeds, and they are agile and eager to move by nature. Due to their genetic purity, they were often used for breeding with other horses such as Trakehner horses, English thoroughbreds, Appaloosa horses and American Quarter Horses.

The horses became sought after prizes of war, and soon the Polish had set up a stud farm with the Arabian horses they captured. As early as the 16th century, writings have mentioned the breeding of purebred Arabians within Poland.
In , a truce between Poland and Turkey led to Poland acquiring Arabians, which led to the breeding of these prized horses to grow thanks to the increased bloodstock.
When WWI happened, nearly all the breeding stock was wiped out. Fortunately, the Polish people built the breeding program back up, and the Arabian Horse Breeding Society was formed in The Polish breeding program has always been based on broodmares.
There are many damn lines in use, with the sire lines being more diverse. As time went on, the Polish bloodlines were split into two types , the Seglawi and the Kuhailan. The Seglawi, which are the most popular type of horse in America , are known for their refinement and beauty, whereas the Kuhailan are known for their athleticism.
Polish Arabians are a popular choice as they are intelligent and willing to please. They have beautiful arched necks, elegant builds, and high set tails, true to the Arabian breed. They have a long history that traces back several hundred years. The Spanish military was long in charge of the breeding of horses in Spain. The Yeguada Militar Stud was established to improve the local Spanish horse population with Arabian horses.
Arabians were then imported from the Middle East, France, and Poland. In , the decision was made to create a purebred Arabian herd in Spain. They gathered a wonderful selection of Arabians from their breeding stock to grow the bloodlines.
Spanish Arabians are known for their athleticism, sturdy build, and good disposition. They were bred for a smooth and became a popular sport horse. While abroad, members of the English nobility fell in love with the breed, which led them to start a breeding program. They carefully studied the lineage of the horses to produce the best of the breed. Crabbet Arabians make stellar riding horses because of their soundness, athletic ability, and good temperaments. The Crabbet type of Arabian horse is a popular breed for showjumping and dressage.
Today, the majority of Arabians can trace back to the Crabbet bloodlines. The Shagya-Arabian is a unique type of Arabian horse developed over years in the Astro-Hungarian empire from Arabian stock and modern riding breeds.
