We filtered the variant calls to include only biallelic SNPs with <10% missing genotype calls that were within the 1000 Genomes Project strict mask (available at ftp://ftp.1000genomes.ebi.ac.uk/vol1/ftp/release/20130502/supporting/accessible_genome_masks/20141020.strict_mask.whole_genome.bed). Then, for each of the 119 overlapping samples considered individually, we calculated variant discordance rates for those filtered SNPs that (1) had a genotype call in both the 1000 Genomes Project data and the GAsP data; and (2) had a ‘variant’ call (that is, a non-homozygous reference genotype call) in at least one of the datasets. These discordance rates were then stratified by the estimated MAF in the GAsP dataset.
