Table 3 Proportion of total GV^a explained by random, effect, and F_ST-preselected markers

Selection method^b	Number of preselected SNPs (in thousands)
Selection method^b	1	10	20	30	40	50
Random	0.0041	0.018	0.082	0.11	0.10	0.14

^a GV Genetic variance ^bSNPs were preselected either randomly, based on their F_ST scores, or based on the absolute value of their estimated effect
