Reads from different individuals are aligned to a reference genome, and SNPs have been called. In this toy example there are seven true segregating sites (black dots) and four false ones (red dots). Also note that segments differ in sample size. In segment 4, for example, five reads from three individuals were sampled; thus, there were at least three chromosomes and at most five sampled in this segment.
