Description
This track shows a 3-SNP moving average of
p(1-p) where p is the major allele frequency
(i.e. half of the expected heterozygosity)
on seven continents,
from SNPs genotyped in 53 populations worldwide by the
Human
Genome Diversity Project in collaboration with the
Centre d'Etude
du Polymorphisme Humain (HGDP-CEPH).
This track and several others are available from the
HGDP Selection Browser.
Methods
Samples collected by the HGDP-CEPH from 1,043 individuals from around the
world were genotyped for 657,000 SNPs at
Stanford.
The 53 populations were divided into seven continental groups: Africa,
Middle East, Europe, South Asia, East Asia, Oceania and the Americas.
Allele frequencies were used to calculate p(1-p)
for each SNP, and then a
3-SNP average was computed for each SNP and its two neighboring SNPs.
The associated analysis tracks HGDP FST, HGP iHS, and HGDP XP-EHH
(Pickrell et al.) did not make use of all African populations, but
instead used only the Bantu populations because a more closely related
group was desired for comparison with other continental groups.
For this track, separate subtracks show the expected heterozygosity
of all African populations and of only Bantu populations.
