Text

Additionally, we examined the relative importance of close versus distant inbreeding by comparing the effect on personality traits of short (<5Mb) versus long (>5Mb) ROHs. ROHs with a length of 5Mb or less should originate from a common ancestor ten or more generations ago, whereas longer ROHs should originate from a common ancestor less than ten generations ago.
