[HapMap announcements] HapMap release #23 available (NCBI B36, dbSNP b126)

[Marcela K. Tello-Ruiz]

--  HapMap data release #23, January 2008, on NCBI B36 assembly, dbSNP b126

This release contains all processed data from the HapMap project, and 
includes all data from phases I+II of the project. It also contains 
genotypes from the Affymetrix 6.0 genotyping array (~82,000 new assays), 
as well as ~60,000 SNP assays that had been excluded from rel#22 due to 
merging into new rsids. Data is available for bulk download and will 
soon be available for browsing.

In this release, selection of the non-redundant set was done by 
preferential selection of the platform with the highest completion rate 
across all HapMap populations. All assay changes relative to the 
previous rel#22 are documented in the release notes:
