Journal ArticleDOI

A haplotype map of the human genome

John W. Belmont, +232 more
TL;DR: A public database of common variation in the human genome: more than one million single nucleotide polymorphisms for which accurate and complete genotypes have been obtained in 269 DNA samples from four populations, including ten 500-kilobase regions in which essentially all information about common DNA variation has been extracted.
Journal ArticleDOI

A second generation human haplotype map of over 3.1 million SNPs

Kelly A. Frazer, +237 more
- 18 Oct 2007 - 
TL;DR: The Phase II HapMap is described, which characterizes over 3.1 million human single nucleotide polymorphisms genotyped in 270 individuals from four geographically diverse populations and includes 25–35% of common SNP variation in the populations surveyed, and increased differentiation at non-synonymous, compared to synonymous, SNPs is demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide detection and characterization of positive selection in human populations

Pardis C. Sabeti, +258 more
- 18 Oct 2007 - 
TL;DR: ‘Long-range haplotype’ methods, which were developed to identify alleles segregating in a population that have undergone recent selection, and new methods that are based on cross-population comparisons to discover alleles that have swept to near-fixation within a population are developed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Two independent alleles at 6q23 associated with risk of rheumatoid arthritis

TL;DR: It is shown that these two SNP associations are statistically independent, are each reproducible in the comparison of the authors' data and WTCCC data, and define risk and protective haplotypes for rheumatoid arthritis at 6q23.
