Analysis procedure. Sequence reads were aligned to the reference sequence (bosTau4) by the MAQ software. SNPs were called and filtered by MAQ and custom scripts, resulting in a final set of 2.44 million SNPs. Comparison with 25,726 array-based genotpyes revealed a false-negative detection rate of 49%. A false-positive detection rate of 1.1% was determined by comparison with 196 randomly selected SNPs genotyped with MALDI-TOF spectroscopy. By determining the false-positive detection rate in 75 coding SNPs with high coverage (≥16), we found evidence that the high false-positive detection rate in these SNPs is due to mapping errors caused by duplications that are not reflected in the reference sequence rather than to sequencing errors.
