Whole genome resequencing reveals diagnostic markers for investigating global migration and hybridization between minke whale species

Table 4 Classification intervals, giving the range of heterozygote marker counts leading to Fn classification under different assumptions of allele fixedness, and the probability of the classification of the specific back cross generation being correct, using a maximum likelihood model

Note that with minor allele frequency of 0.05, there is no number of heterozygote markers where the F7 generation is most likely to produce, and thus we will never classify a specimen as F7. The same holds for F8 and above under all assumptions of minor allele frequencies.
