^aGenome identifiers are surnames of sequenced individuals (Venter), identifiers for Coriell DNA samples (NA18507), or abbreviations introduced in published papers (YH, SJK, ABT, and KB1).

^bSequencing technology: Sanger = Sanger (capillary) sequencing, Illumina = Illumina GenomeAnalyzer, SOLiD = SOLiD system by Applied Biosystems.

^cAverage read length in bp, and whether or not paired-end (PE) reads were used.

^dSequencing redundancy, or fold coverage, as reported in published paper.

^eFraction of genome covered by uniquely aligned reads, according to the pipeline used here.

^fActual depth: average number of uniquely aligned reads at positions having at least one uniquely aligned read. Excludes duplicate reads.

^gHigh quality coverage: fraction of genome covered by aligned reads that pass data quality filters.

^hKB1 was sequenced using both the 454 and Illumina methods, but this analysis used the more abundant Illumina data.
