SNP marker distribution in the target region. Distribution of 1,317 SNPs selected for this study (1), 1,022 identical (2), and 295 non-identical (3) SNPs in the HapMap JPT database, and distribution of 29,728 SNPs in HapMap JPT (10) in every 300-kb bin against the physical distance in the target region. Number of tag SNPs (r² > 0.7, 0.8, and 0.9) found for this study matched with the r² > 0.7, 0.8, and 0.9 SNPs in HapMap JPT (4, 5, and 6) and number of tag SNPs (r² > 0.7, 0.8, and 0.9) among the HapMap JPT SNPs (7, 8, and 9). The vertical bars in the top panel show the position of RefSeq genes in this region.
