hotspot: Position of hotspots throughout the human genome

In genostats/FEstim: Genetic Data Analyses in Presence of Inbreeding

Position of hotspots throughout the human genome

Description

These datasets are data frames containing position and intensity of hotspots in the human genome, for releases hg17 (build 35), hg18 (build 36) and hg19 (build 37). The hotspot for hg17 were downloaded from the HapMap ftp repository. They were converted to other builds (hg18, hg19) using hgLiftOver.

Usage

data(hotspot_hg17)

Format

Data frames with 32996 rows and 7 variables

Details

The variables are:

• Chromosome. Chromosome number

• Centre. Center of the hotspots in Mb

• Start. Start of the hotspot

• End. End of the hotspot

• Widthkb. Width of the hotposts in kb

• IntensitycMMb. Intensity in cM / Mb

• TotaldistancecM. Total distance in cM
