Distribution of ultra-rare SNPs in functional regions. by Mihail Halachev (6444560)

“…Dashed black lines represent the distribution shifts between LBC and VIKING for each of the considered genomic regions. A strictly vertical shift would indicate a proportional increase in the numbers of ultra-rare and known variants from LBC to VIKING, whereas a strictly horizontal shift (no change in the ultra-rare variant density between the two cohorts) would represent a decrease in the number of known variants in VIKING.…”
