2.2. Selection of diagnostic SNPs
SNP validation revealed that amongst 10 923 SNPs, 2702 did not meet the criteria of classification as normal bi-allelic SNPs.
After omitting them, i.e.
MSV (multisite variant), SNP-0, Fail, 8221 loci were analysed.
70 SNPs, across total genotyped loci, had a level of missing data higher than the accepted threshold of 80% and they were removed
Further information on the array can be obtained from Matthew Peter Kent (CIGENE,
Norway).
