The number of common GS elements between two individuals is close to their number of segment matches. We measure the difference between the number of common GS elements and the number of segment matches in the HapMap data and 1000 Genomes data. The differences are small compared with the distance between related and unrelated individuals. (A) CEU (HapMap). (B) YRI (HapMap). (C) AFR (1000 Genomes).
