hg-horizon: genome-wide LD computed with CuEvo
LD pair scores are calculated offline with CuEvo. Spatial summaries provide both mean and max pooling. Inputs are the 1000 Genomes NYGC high-coverage GRCh38 panel's 2,504 unrelated phase-3 individuals. AFR, AMR, EAS, EUR and SAS are calculated separately. This is unphased diploid dosage Pearson correlation, not phased haplotype-frequency LD, ancestry-adjusted correlation, MI, or a statistical significance catalogue.
CuEvo revision: bde2ef7eeb452dbf51fe3331e499828c3952222e. The native engine uses integer genotype counts
and the exact rational test 10 C² ≥ Vx Vy for r² ≥ 0.1. Scores are delivered as
float64 signed r, without int16/float16 quantization. The export orients r to each
population's minor alleles; explicit allele dictionaries permit other orientations.
Numerical validation is recorded in verification.json.
Squaring stored r can differ from the exact cutoff by floating-point roundoff; eligibility
was decided by the integer test, rather than by re-filtering rounded scores.

Smaller bp bins mean finer resolution. Tiles are spatially pooled summaries, not
single-variant pair tables. Their mean r² = sum_r2/n and max r² = max_r2 describe
retained r² ≥ 0.1 pairs only, not every possible variant pair. Missing pairs are not
measured zeros. Counts and sums allow correctly weighted re-pooling; resolution levels
repeat the same observations and must not be added as independent measurements.
max_r preserves the sign of the strongest-|r| source pair; it is not a maximum of signed r.
Each scan uses population MAF ≥1%, inclusive. Eligible autosomal variants are drawn from the reusable panel selected at MAF ≥1% in at least one superpopulation. CuEvo tests the complete unordered upper triangle with no genomic distance or top-K limit. The scan's internal memory windows do not restrict genomic distance. chrX is a separate cis product: X–autosome trans, Y, and MT are not supplied.

Small documentation/index files are additional. Use files.tsv or manifest.json to plan a subset download; avoid downloading the entire repository by default. Fine cis rows also occur in the full cis/trans product.

Full cis/trans files contain gidx_i, gidx_j, padded genome_pos_i/j, r_signed and
joint_calls. Join gidx to that same population's variant dictionary for chromosome,
one-based pos_1based, A1/A2 alleles and frequencies. gidx is a row ID, not a base-pair
coordinate. chrX is a separate index namespace: its fine-pair gidx values refer to
zero-based record order in inputs/vcf/{population}/chrX.vcf.gz and must not be joined
to the autosomal dictionaries. See the format guide.

Inputs, provenance and limitations
The original VCFs and sample metadata are linked to their providers rather
than duplicated. The source release is NYGC 20220422_3202_phased_SNV_INDEL_SV, with
chrX .v2. The autosomal PLINK inputs provide filtered, reusable genotype calls.
LD is calculated from those genotype calls. BED calls
are unphased and do not reconstruct the original haplotypes. Sample rosters, input hashes,
eligibility rules, software pin, score conventions and numerical checks are recorded in
PROVENANCE.json.
The recomputation does not impute missing calls or silently replace them with zeros. The native CUDA path is
admitted only after verifying complete calls in the scoring inputs. For these inputs,
joint_calls is the full population sample size. Undefined invariant pairs are excluded.
No p-value, biological validation, or genome-wide FDR guarantee is implied by the r² cutoff.
When A1 frequency equals 0.5, A1 defines the sign orientation.
chrX male haploid calls are duplicated into the existing 0/2 dosage convention; female calls remain diploid. This mixed-ploidy statistic can reflect sex composition. It must not be interpreted as sex-specific or phased haplotype LD.
The padded autosomal axis (hg38-autosomes-padded-5mb-v1) pads each chromosome length to
a multiple of 5 Mb, span 2,935,000,000 bp. Padding is not measured sequence. Exact offsets
are supplied in genome-axis.json. Chromosome-local fine/tile positions
are zero-based; BIM and dictionary pos_1based positions are one-based.
Derived results are CC BY 4.0; genotype inputs remain subject to the original 1000 Genomes/IGSR terms. Cite Byrska-Bishop et al., Cell 2022 and the original resource. Curated by Standard Model Bio, in the hg-horizon collection.
