INTRODUCTIONAccurate and reliable estimation of allele frequency in a DNA pooling study relies on an important adjustment factor, coefficient of preferential amplification/hybridization (CPA). The CPA should be estimated based on peak intensity data of heterozygous individuals in individual genotyping experiments. However, collection of additional heterozygous individuals to perform CPA adjustment will increase cost and efforts dramatically and therefore blemish DNA pooling studies. The purpose of this database is to provide a public resource for free adjustment of preferential amplification in a DNA pooling study.
Content:
We have constructed a CPA database by using the Affymetrix GeneChip Human Mapping 100K Set, which contains 116,204 SNPs. The contents of this database consist of the three parts: (1) SNP descriptions (Chromosome number, probe set and physical position, genotype, SNP location); (2) Results from all samples (SNP call rate, allele frequency, locus heterozygosity, unadjusted and adjusted p-values for test of HWE); (3) Results from heterozygous individuals (Number of heterozygous individuals used in the CPA calculation, three CPA estimates, the corresponding standard errors and 95% confidence intervals of CPA).
