I wonder what the accuracy is like and how it scales to smaller/larger populations? For example, how many individuals are needed in a 3 generation family tree to accurately infer WGS from SNPs? It seems to me we might see a persistent difference in SNP/WGS cost due to Richard Seiternoreply@blogger.com
