- The names of the extended scenarios are derived from the number of daughters per sire which are included in the reference set and the sire’s generation. The number before the slash in the scenario’s name is the number of daughters per progeny-tested bull of generation 7 (i.e. step 2 of the extended scenarios) and the number after the slash is the number of daughters per progeny-tested bull of generation 8 (i.e. step 1 of the extended scenarios). The –/50s is a scenario in which the best daughters were selected to be genotyped, –/25r25s is a scenario in which 25 random daughters per sire and the 25 best daughters per sire were selected and genotyped and –/50ub is a scenario in which an unbalanced number of daughters for all sires was selected
