Estimating genetic diversity across the neutral genome with the use of dense marker maps

Table 1 Correlations of true genetic diversity (H_exp_TRUE) with IBD-based diversity (GD_IBD) and heterozygosity (H_exp_AVG and H_exp_HAP2).

^a The number of marker intervals taken into account to estimate the genetic diversity.
^b Correlations were calculated for values per marker interval, and for average values for a group of marker intervals (4, 10, 20 and 40 marker intervals); for the latter, correlations were calculated for the true genetic diversity of even ungenotyped markers with the estimated genetic diversity based on uneven (flanking) markers, and the other way around; the average of both correlations (even and uneven) is presented.
