[HapMap announcements] New HapMap Data Release (pilot data from phase II)

[Albert Vernon Smith]

Dear HapMap Annoucements list subscriber-

The first release of data from HapMap Phase II is now available.   
This release contains data from the initial pilot work in Phase II  
covering chromosome 2p.  This data complements the previous Phase I  
release (16c.1), and full data is available by combining the files.   
Future releases in the HapMap project will contain genotypes together  
from Phases I and II.

In total, 600,180 new genotype sets are available in this release,  
which cover 54,016,200 genotypes.

Summary of genotyped SNPs by population:

                  Genotyped SNPs
Chrom          CEU      HCB      JPT      YRI
------------------------------------------------
Chr2p  all    200,060  200,060  200,060  200,060
Chr2p  QC+    106,168  108,961  108,947  101,506
------------------------------------------------

It is anticipated that the next major release, with significantly  
more genotypes from phase II, will occur in early September.

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