Constructing a Genome-Wide LD Map of Wild A. gambiae Using Next-Generation Sequencing

Figure 1

Types of common SNPs. About 87.6% of newly detected common SNPs from wild A. gambiae are novel. The types of common SNPs were determined based on their positions on the genome (intergenic: blue; within introns: purple; synonymous: yellow; nonsynonymous: red). SNPs within exons were further classified into synonymous and nonsynonymous. About 2% of SNPs changed protein sequences. The number of SNPs is shown in each category.
