5.4.4 genedrop computational parameters

set marker seeds H1 H2

This statement initializes the seeds for the random number generator in the gene dropping algorithms. The seeds are to be positive and no greater than hexadecimal 0xFFFFFFFF, with the first seed (congruential seed) odd, and the second seed (Tausworthe seed) nonzero. If no seeds are specified for marker simulation, default seeds are used.

set trait seeds H1 H2

This statement initializes the seeds for trait simulation. If no seeds are given, the starting seeds for trait simulation are the seeds returned by the random number generator at completion of marker simulation.
