Table 2. Validation of variants.

A) Common INDELs
	Validated	Not Validated	Validation Rate
Novel	24	13	64.86%
Newly released	42	3	93.33%
Total	66	16	80.49%

The table provides a summary of the validation results, both for the INDELs common to the two sequencing datasets used, and the private ones. All INDELs sent for validation were classified as “novel” according to dbSNP 131 and the 1000 Genome Consortium release October 2010. During the validation phase new data have been released by 1000 Genome (November 11th 2011): INDELs have been here categorised according to this latest release, to be considered as an independent confirmation.
