In calculation 1, the threshold (T) was set to 0.2 or the empirically derived 5% significance threshold for each population. This allowed the value for LD_R to be taken from the dataset and used to calculate P_R. The range (R) was set to 0 – 5 cM in each case and mR = 5. In calculation 2, P_R was set to 0.95 in each case and the thresholds used were the same as for calculation 1 which resulted in use of the same values for LD_R. This allowed the number of markers (mR) for size range (R = 5) to be calculated. mR was converted into the required marker spacing in cM (M) and the total number of markers required for a genome scan (Total M) for each population. The calculation was not applicable (na) where LD was equal to 1.
