Our results have some similarities with a report of haplotype structure across 13 megabases (Mb) in a sample of Yorubans and African-Americans [ 14 ] . In a haplotype block defined by 12 SNPs, four haplotypes greater than 5% frequency were found; we find five in the Gambia, and four in Malawi with frequency greater than 5%.
Heterochromatin accounts for an estimated 59 megabases (Mb) of the 176-Mb genome of the Drosophila melanogaster female, and the 41-Mb male Y chromosome is entirely heterochromatic (Figure 1).
Many lower organisms have been sequenced to date [ 3], but the 3.2 billion base pair (bp) human genome is approximately 25 times as large as the largest currently finished genomes - Drosophila melanogaster at 120 megabases (Mb) [ 4] and Arabidopsis thaliana at 115 Mb [ 5].
Similarly, in birds, a polymorphism at the tenascin locus (which lies a few megabases proximal to Tlr4 in mice) predicts susceptibility to Gram-negative infection [ 30], suggesting that it may lie in linkage disequilibrium with a particular form of the avian Tlr4 gene.
