a

Based on mean value of 69 Collaborative Cross individuals. Data from the column titled “% het (autosomes) in sequenced sample” in table S2 of Srivastava et al. (2017). Approximate number of bases surveyed is based on a genome size of 2.7 GB divided by the mean “% coverage at 15×.”

b

The Peromyscus animals evaluated here are the BW and PO strains originating with the Peromyscus stock center, bred at Harvard University in the Hoekstra laboratory, and sequenced by Weber et al. (2013).

c

The Phodopus animals evaluated here are from the Good laboratory at the University of Montana described in Brekke and Good (2014).
