Table 1. Predicted segregation patterns for completely sex-linked RAD markers given a ZW chromosomal sex determination system in dioecious (ESP) and androdioecious (KOE) populations.

Abbreviations: ESP, Espolla; hem., hemizygous; het., heterozygous; hom., homozygous; KOE, Königswartha; RAD, restriction site-associated DNA; SNP, single-nucleotide polymorphism.

For RAD markers with completely sex-linked alleles, SNP segregation patterns are shown. For RAD markers specific to either the Z or W, sex chromosome predicted patterns are shown for presence (+)/absence (Ø), marker coverage and zygosity (hem., hom. or het.).
