Genotypes on 660,918 SNPs typed previously in 1,043 individuals from the Human Genome Diversity Panel (10) were submitted to quality control procedures described in ref. 39. In particular, we excluded 409 SNPs with >10% missing data among 1,043 individuals, 67 monomorphic SNPs, 696 SNPs with fewer than five alleles present in at least 1 of 52 worldwide populations, and 641 autosomal SNPs with departures from Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium. After removing these 1,813 SNPs, 659,105 SNPs remained for analysis, 642,563 of which were autosomal. We excluded relatives from the dataset of 1,043 on which SNP quality control was conducted, leaving 938 unrelated individuals (10), among whom 872 had STR data available.
