Dissection of the impact of prioritized QTL-linked and -unlinked SNP markers on the accuracy of genomic selection1

Table 2 Overlap (%) between random-, F_ST-, or effect-preselected marker subsets and G₂ SNPs

Selection method^a	Number of preselected SNPs (in thousands)
Selection method^a	1	10	20	30	40	50
Random	6.75	6.65	6.63	6.64	6.63	6.69
F_ST	99.99	67.04	47.19	37.84	32.26	28.45
Effect	100.00	76.07	54.13	43.13	36.42	31.89

^a SNPs were preselected either randomly, based on their F_ST scores, or based on the absolute value of their estimated effect
