SeSAM computation time for automatic total map construction, as a function of the number of individuals in a F2 (black circles and line) and in a CP (red triangles and line) population. Data were simulated using the SeSAM function simulatePop() for two chromosomes (100 and 200 cM) with markers regularly spaced at a density of 1 marker/cM. For F2, the line was obtained from linear regression y = a.x + b (a = 0.022, b = 0.99). For CP, the line was obtained from non-linear regression y = a.x² + b.x + c (a = 0, b = 0.066, c = 0.99)
