This is draft release 1 for genome-wide SNP genotyping in DNA samples from 
11 human populations (sometimes referred to as the "HapMap 3" samples).

This release contains the following data:

-- SNP genotype data generated from 1115 samples, collected using two
   platforms: the Illumina Human1M (by the Wellcome Trust Sanger
   Institute) and the Affymetrix SNP 6.0 (by the Broad
   Institute). Data from the two platforms have been merged for this
   release.

The genotypes are in PLINK .map and .ped file formats. See
http://pngu.mgh.harvard.edu/~purcell/plink/data.shtml for a
description.

Since this is a draft release, we ask you to check this site regularly
for updates and new releases. Also check back for allele frequencies
and LD and phasing information.

Files in this release:

-- hapmap3_r1_b36_fwd.qc.poly.tar.bz2

   Genotype data in PLINK .map and .ped format. You will need to
   unpack this archive using the tar and bunzip2 commands like this:

     bunzip2 -c hapmap3_r1_b36_fwd.qc.poly.tar.bz2 | tar xvf -

-- phase_3_samples.doc

   Names and descriptions of the panels used in phase 3.
   
   
-- relationships_w_pops_051208.txt

   This file was substituted by the relationships_w_pops_121708.txt file, see 
below.

-- relationships_w_pops_121708.txt

   List of individuals belonging to each panel, including pedigree and
   gender information. This file substitutes the relationshps_w_pops_051208.txt
   which incorrectly listed individual NA20281 in family 2805 in a different family.
