  1. aAll: Including all SNPs passing the bioinformatics thresholds; HW-0.05: removing SNPs with Hardy-Weinberg deviations of less than −0.05; MAF.48: removing SNPs with MAF of at least 0.48; HW-.05sub: method HW-0.05, but removing any recorded offspring with an ‘HW-.05’ relatedness with one of its recorded parents of less than 0.25
  2. bAll pairs of offspring from families with distinct parents (i.e. having a different sire and different dam)
  3. cThe difference between the full-sibs and the non-sib offspring columns
