Table 1 Number of SNPs \(N_{SNP}\), heterozygosity H and relatedness R for the eight genomes (autosomes) from the Faroe Islands. \(N_{SNP}\), H and R were derived from the KING --bysample and --kinship methods, respectively (Additional files 1 and 5 for our basic and advanced filtering, respectively). We also compare R from kinship with \(R_{ROH>x}\) from ROHs (Methods, Additional files 2 and 6 for our basic and advanced filtering, respectively). The median and mean number of \(N_{SNP}\), H, R, \(R_{ROH>0.1}\) and \(R_{ROH>0.2}\) are shown for both filtering criteria used before further processing with PLINK and KING. The \(N_{SNP}\), H are shown for the eight individual and merged samples, and R, \(R_{ROH>x}\) are shown for the merged samples. For the basic filtering R is like \(R_{ROH>0.1}\) and for the advanced filtering R is like \(R_{ROH>0.2}\)
