For masking genomic regions in natural populations which showed low coverage based on the genomic mapping BAM files we only considered the stable chromosomes from the reference GRCm38 _mm10_ <http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/projects/genome/assembly/grc/mouse/>.
The BAM files were processed with 'genomeCoverageBed' to obtain site specific genome coverage and further united with 'unionBedGraphs'. The per population combined coverage was further processed to only retain regions with a coverage smaller than 5 resulting as the masking regions.
