a Total number of SNPs called within each pipeline, under the indicated SNP calling filters and genotyping criteria

b Average read depth for all SNPs across the entire population

c Percentage of called SNPs with an average read depth of at least 20

d Percentage of heterozygous genotype calls

e Percentage of homozygous genotype calls

f Percentage of missing cells (i.e. no genotype call for a given SNP*accession combination)

g Liberal pipeline results in the absence of subsequent SNP calling or genotyping filters

h Pipeline results after culling SNPs with less than 75 % scored genotypes, with D ≤ 4 (low depth), or D ≥ 200 (over-represented sequences). Further reduction is due to imposing stringent depth-based genotyping criteria, including a minimum read depth of 11 for homozygotes when the secondary allele count is zero, a minimum depth of 48 for homozygotes when the secondary allele count is one, a minimum depth of 3 for each allele for heterozygotes, and a read-depth ratio of the lower- to higher-depth allele greater than 0.1
