Results are averages of 200 replicates (instead of 100). Standard errors of results were ≤0.01 (except for N_ge).

^aNinety individuals were sampled from the subpopulation bred from 10 male and 50 female parents, and 10 were sampled from a subpopulation bred from 8 male and 40 female parents.

^bTen individuals were sampled from the subpopulation bred from 10 male and 50 female parents, and 90 were sampled from a subpopulation bred from 8 male and 40 female parents.

^cThe regression of estimated reletedness on pedigree relatedness.

^dThe regression of pedigree on estimated relatedness.

^eThe correlation between estimated and pedigree relatedness.

^fThe number of founder genome equivalents with optimum contributions, Equation 20. Standard errors of results were ≤0.02.
