Genetic and Physical LD extent were obtained by adjusting Hill and Weir model’s on 100 different sets of 500,000 loci randomly sampled in high (> 0.5 cM / Mbp) and low (< 0.5 cM / Mbp) recombination regions, respectively. The value represented the average across these 100 sets. The percentage of genome coverage was estimated using markers with MAF > 5% and E(r2K) = 0.1, for each technology and for the three technologies combined (ALL: GBS + 600 K + 50 K)
