Nucleotide diversity (π) was estimated for each replicate of the different numbers of variants of the random panels and for each non-random panel. Sample sizes varied for each estimate from 10 to 30 individuals.
Random panels are denoted by their number of variants (from 1K to 5M) and non-random panels by: 50K.Chip (Illumina® ovine 50K SNP Beadchip), HD.Chip (Illumina® ovine HD Beadchip) exome (exome capture simulation), WGS (all variants extracted from whole genome sequences). For each panel of variants the sample sizes are from left to right: 10 (red), 20 (green) and 30 (yellow) individuals.
