This HANCESTRO release focuses primarily on the inclusion of reference populations such as those from the 1000 Genomes Project and the Human Genome Diversity Project. All reference populations are grouped under the parent reference population (HANCESTRO:0632)
. There are a total of 212 reference populations included in HANCESTRO. Additional documentation on the inclusion of reference populations can be found on the HANCESTRO wiki.
In addition to the reference populations, this release contains a number of fixes to issues that arose from the previous release, such as duplicate populations between the AfPO import and HANCESTRO, and a number of typos.
