Exp(haplotype length), bp	2.05 × 107	4.37 × 1010	5.30 × 1016	4.89 × 109	3.42 × 105
Simulated haplotype length, bp	825,046	2,486,692	8,585,663	300,336	2,210,343
Actual haplotype length, bp	386,000	959,175	411,000c	358,000	2,640,036

Abbreviations: BAC, Bacterial artificial chromosome; LFR, LFR, Long fragment reads.

^aEstimated given that each pool contains 300 to 600 Mbp and L = 94,000.

^bEstimated by dividing 226 Mbp (number of bases covered in a pool) by L = 13.8 kbp.

^cActual haplotype length for NA20431.
