Sexing samples using the SNP chip. (A) Distribution of observed heterozygosity over the 1438 SNPs from the X chromosome; the left peak (max = 0.005) represents the homozygous genotypes from males (in blue) while the right peak (max = 0.33) represents the more heterozygous genotypes from females (in red). (B) Combining the extent of the chromosome X heterozygosity with call-rates of the SNPs in the SRY gene (absent from female genome); the cluster on the bottom left represents the males where a positive call was generated for all 6 probes while the upper cluster represents the females with complete missing genotypes
