## Description

The HapMap project identified and genotyped a set of SNPs to be used as a reference for future studies of human disease. These SNPs are shown here, along with their frequencies, as well as their corresponding chimp and rhesus orthologs.

## Credits

This track is based on release 16b from the HapMap Data Coordination Center. The liftOver tool was used to identify the orthologous nucleotides in the Chimp (panTro2) and Rhesus (rheMac2) assemblies.
