We propose to sequence 35 Tibetan samples to provide a comparative dataset for a project examining Himalayan samples (I1911). Tibetans have been studied in several ways such as their adaptations to high altitude life, although not, thus far, at the genome sequence level. We chose this number of individuals because similar numbers will be sequenced from many African, European and HGDP populations, and thus the Tibetan data can also be included in many other analyses.
