<p>The Illumina Infinium HumanExome+ BeadChip contains putative functional exonic variants selected from individual exome and whole-genome sequences from diverse populations. It includes nonsynonymous variants, splice variants and stop-altering variants. It also includes tags for previous GWAS-identified loci, ancestry informative markers, markers designed for identity by descent analyses, synonymous variants, fingerprint SNPs common to major genotyping platforms, mitochondrial SNPs, chromosome Y SNPs, and HLA tag SNPs. For more information as well as a detailed description of the variant calling and QC procedures, see Li et al. (2016).</p> <p>Li, D., et al.
