After removing the no-call and matching the two files by SNP identification, 560299 snips were present in both files. The comparisson revealed 23 cases in which the results do not agree. See the results <a href="http://www.barbosadeoliveira.com/comparing">here</a>.<br />This error rate seems to me to be quite acceptable and I wonder if this is the rate expected in scientific studies using the same technology.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2445750045690405072-4820735131537575807?l=longavista.blogspot.com'/></div>Antonio C B Oliveirahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00911085530766902558acbolive@sloan.mit.edu2
