Have questions about the project or the data? Please ask them here! It is my understanding that the FASTQ files posted on the PGP web site contain reads from 55000 short exons, length 40-140. Could someone please provide an ordered list of the exons that are included? --IJ 0:30, 12 December 2008 (EST) This web-page has a new "assembly" for PGP2 with coordinates for each capture region included. Please keep in mind that insertions and deletions are not present in the "assemblies". I have added a link to insertions and deletions at PersonalGenomes@Home#PGP2_Sample_Data --AWZ 22:58, 18 December 2008 (EST) The FASTQ files include dinucleotide codes (like Y). Is that an indication that the particular individual is heterozygous at that locus and has both nucleotides? --IJ 0:30, 12 December 2008 (EST) Yes. These are standard IUPAC codes. --AWZ 22:58, 18 December 2008 (EST) The FASTQ files have nucleotides in both upper and lower case. Does the difference indicate anything about that position? --IJ 0:30, 12 December 2008 (EST) Yes. Lower case indicates poor coverage. The assembly is done with Maq and default options. --AWZ 22:58, 18 December 2008 (EST) Your question. Cleanup It would be great if the above questions/answers could be incorporated into the main page. Maybe somebody could start an FAQ section? --AWZ 08:49, 20 December 2008 (EST)
