[HapMap announcements] New HapMap data release (#11, Sep04) available on project website

[Gudmundur Arni Thorisson]

Dear Hapmap Announcements list subscriber. We're happy to announce that
HapMap Sep04 data release (#11) is now available on the project website,
http://www.hapmap.org and the Japanese mirror site 
http://hapmap.jst.go.jp/.
   This release contains 693,255 genotype sets from the 90 CEPH-panel
samples, totalling 62,393,760 genotypes. Absolute number of genotyped
SNPs is slightly less, as a fraction of the SNPs have been genotyped
more than once by HapMap genotyping centers.

As with previous HapMap data releases, frequencies, individual
genotypes (requires registration) and assays can be downloaded in bulk
from http://www.hapmap.org/downloads/, as well as browsed graphically
at via GBrowse at http://www.hapmap.org/cgi-perl/gbrowse/gbrowse.
   A special subset of genotype data from ENCODE regions is available in
http://www.hapmap.org/downloads/latest/ENCODE/. This set now includes in
seperate files about 2K new SNPs discovered within the project that
have been submitted to dbSNP, but have not yet been released as rs#
records yet. See the README file and 
http://www.hapmap.org/downloads/encode1.html
for more information.

   New frequency data since last month will be submitted to NCBI's dbSNP
database within days and should become available also at 
http://www.ncbi.nih.gov/SNP/ soon
thereafter, once NCBI has incorporated this submission into the next
build of dbSNP.

On behalf of the HapMap Data Coordination Center (DCC) team at
CSHL, best regards.
