A comparison between population-genetic inferences from TE and SNP data. TE-based population differentiation and genetic diversity estimates are generally in agreement with SNP-based inferences, except for the northern (Nubian, Kordofan and West African) giraffes. A Principal component analyses using a 48 K SNP dataset. B Idem, using a 9.4 K TE dataset. C Scatterplot showing sample specific heterozygosity estimates inferred from a 9.4 K TE dataset (y-axis) against genome-wide heterozygosity estimates (x-axis) reported by Coimbra et al. (2021). D Scatterplot showing Nei’s genetic distance estimates between subspecies inferred from a 9.4 K TE dataset (y-axis) against estimates inferred from a 48 K SNP dataset (x-axis). Color-coding follows the phylogeny in Fig. 3
