• 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
  • 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". --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
  • 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
  • Yes. Lower case indicates poor coverage. The assembly is done with Maq and default options. --AWZ 22:58, 18 December 2008 (EST)

• Your question.
