  1. 1Animals were split into groups (ordered by generation) of testing individuals, their parents, and their grandparents; grandparents were further divided into two groups: MGS + PGS which included maternal grandsire and paternal grandsire, and MGD + PGD which included maternal granddam and paternal granddam; the remaining individuals were placed in the “Other” category; gGroups of animals were genotyped with high density (H), L384, L3k, L6k panels or not genotyped (0); 2Represents a scenario that would require the dam of the candidate to be re-genotyped at a lower-density than it would have been originally genotyped when it was itself a selection candidate and this would not occur in practice.
