Info:
Scientists from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill tested Thunder, a linkage disequilibrium-aware variant caller, on a community sample of Native Americans and determined that low-coverage whole genome sequencing is better at finding novel variants and associations than fixed-content genotyping arrays. They used Pippin Prep to select fragments of 300 base pairs for sequencing on the HiSeq 2000.
