Table 1.

The training and validation design for genomic prediction of the single-step analysis

Population specification		Number of individuals by gender		Origin of parents
		Male	Female	Male	Female
Training	G₀*	50	1000	G₋₁*	G₋₁
	G₁	500	500	50(G₀)	1000(G₀)
	G₂	500	500	50(G₁)	500(G₀)
					500(G₁)
Validation	G₃	500	500	50(G₂)	500(G₁)
					500(G₂)
	G₄	500	500	50(G₃)	500(G₂)
					500(G₃)
	G₅	500	500	50(G₄)	500(G₃)
					500(G₄)

Note: *G₀ indicates generation 0 of recent generations (generation 5000 from historical populations); G₋₁ indicates historical generation 4999, G₁₋₅ indicates generations 5001–5005. This design was the same for all QTL scenarios (5, 50, and 500 QTL)
