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.
