1000 Genomes Project pilot data used for mobile element insertion discovery.

Number of samples, average read coverage, detected loci, and validation results are shown. Non-reference MEI false detection rates (FDR) were based on validation results at randomly selected loci. In addition to PCR validation, reference MEI were also tested for validation as deletions by local assembly. The FDR for reference MEI, including the additional MEI selection criteria, is estimated to be <10%.
