Homozygous and small hemizygous deletion counts (overlapping a 100-kb window) for all HD clusters with six or more HDs at recessive cancer genes (RCG), fragile sites (FRA) or unexplained loci. The HD selection pressure (λ) is determined by comparing the ratio of the homozygous to hemizygous deletions for a cluster against the average ratio over all fragile sites. A change in this ratio represents the relative selection at this cluster. The small deletion rate is estimated from the observed counts and is an indicator of local fragility.
