Many SNPs had allele frequency information submitted from multiple sources. To create a nonredundant entry, we included frequency data only from the source in which the most samples were genotyped.
Only 10,530 SNPs from the Applera gene resequencing database, those with SIC >0.1, were in the actual list from which SNPs were selected. This meant that the total number of SNPs in the list we analyzed was 250,806; however, the effective number used for choosing differentiated markers was thus larger, ∼450,000.
