Human adaptation in the Andes Mountains

This dataset contains genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotype data generated from 81 individuals (78 women and 3 men of Aymara-Quecha and Uru ethnicities) from the Bolivian Altiplano and 32 women from the Argentinean Puna (Atacameño-Kolla ethnicity). DNA was extracted from whole blood samples or buccal cells with EZNA Blood DNA Mini kit (Omega Bio-teck, USA) or Qiagen Blood Mini kit (Qiagen, Germany). Genome-wide genotyping was performed at the SNP&Seq Technology Platform in Uppsala (Sweden) on the Illumina Infinium Omni5Exome and on the Illumina Infinium Omni5M bead chips for the Bolivian and Argentinean study groups, respectively. The data was aligned to the human reference genome build, version 37 (hg19). This metadata record contains information of 162 IDAT files generated from the Illumina Infinium Omni5Exome and on the Illumina Infinium Omni5M arrays, and 3 PLINK files (bim, bam and fam). The data takes 10GB of storage.Terms for access: · The genome-wideSNP genotype dataset is only to be used for research that is seeking to advance the understanding of the human adaptation to extreme environments.· The data should not be used for other purposes, i.e. investigating the genetic signatures that may lead to identification of a person.· Not to use this data or any part thereof for the creation of products or services for sale or to sale the data or parts of the data or to use the data for any commercial purpose.· Do not to transfer or disclose the data, in whole or part, or any identifiable material derived from the data, to third parties or persons not directly involved in the research.· Preserve, at all times, the confidentiality of information and data pertaining to sample donors.
