Cumulative response to selection (a), genetic (b) and genic (c) variance for the future breeding populations (from generation 1 to 40).  Cumulative response to selection (a), genetic variance (b) and genic variance (c) for a trait based on 10,000 quantitative trait variants (QTV) are plotted for each generation. From generation −31 to 0 (not plotted), the chromosome length (CL) was equal to 1 Morgan, whereas from generation 1 to 40, the chromosome length ranged from 0.10 Morgan (CL0.10M) to 20 Morgan (CL20M). 2.4 % of the males were selected in each generation by truncation selection. See Additional file 1: Figure S1 for results of all 72 generations
