Figure 3From: Evaluating the performance of commercial whole-genome marker sets for capturing common genetic variationThe number of commercial SNPs necessary to describe all SNPs in different populations. For each SNP in the commercial panels, we determined whether it was a tagSNP (the SNP with highest r2) for any marker in the selected population samples. For example, among the 296 SNP in HumanHap 300 with MAF 1% there were 231 (78%) SNPs that described SNP from all populations in these regions. Only 20 out of 296 (6.8%) were the best for describing the CEPH population and 2 (0.7%) were the best for describing only the Yoruban population. The analysis is based only on the two ENCODE regions in which the Estonian markers were genotyped.Back to article page
