Hap Map Project - Bgbunict.it

The project had become practical by the confluence of the following:
the availability of the human genome sequence;
databases of common SNPs (subsequently enriched by this
project) from which genotyping assays could be designed;
insights into human LD;
development of inexpensive, accurate technologies for highthroughput
SNP genotyping;
web-based tools for storing and sharing data.
