  1. Numbers in the table are means from 16 random simulations, where there was one chromosome, 100 QTL and 1000 SNPs; αS and αD are the breed-specific allele substitution effects for the sire and dam breeds in BSAM; a and d are the additive and dominance SNP effects in the dominance model; numbers in column “Total” in BSAM and the dominance model are the sum of the number of nonzero SNP effects of different types in the corresponding model.
