Genotypes of Global Populations
The Genotypes for Global Populations (GGP)
project is a complementary effort to ALFRED, which provides allele frequencies
by population, to provide genotypes for multiple polymorphisms by individuals
in each population. Currently, data on
several hundred SNPs for ~2000 individuals in 43 human
populations are being made available.
We expect additional SNPs to be added periodically for these
individuals. Initial data will be from
the laboratory of Dr.
Kenneth K. Kidd, Department of Genetics, Yale University School of Medicine
but if other investigators wish to collaborate, the site can add other
populations for other polymorphisms.
- 04-25-2008: Revised dataset has been uploaded to Kidd Lab website.
Data from the first release has been
curated, new markers have been added, data is available in additional formats.
- 11-01-2007:
Anticipated release of additional data from Kidd Lab
Periodically additional data will be released on the same
individuals in these 43 populations.
Comments
and suggestions on our project are welcome.
- 09-01-2007: Test release of genotype data from
Kidd Lab
Data on 350+ SNPs on different chromosomes for
individuals in 43 population samples are included. All data are phase-unknown genotypes. The data cover several short molecular regions
that have several SNPs spaced at 10kb or less.
Individuals in most population samples are believed unrelated. However, individuals in the small tribal
groups include some close relatives but the precise relationships are unknown.
