 <h2>Display Conventions</h2>
 
 <p>Most tracks only show the variant and allele frequencies on mouseover or clicks.
 When zoomed in, tracks display alleles with base-specific coloring. Homozygote
 data are shown as one letter, while heterozygotes will be displayed with both
 letters.

+Full haplotype display - only for the MXB and HGDP tracks: In &quot;pack&quot; mode, this track
+sorts the haplotypes. This can be
 useful for determining the similarity between the samples and inferring
 inheritance at a particular locus.
 For a full description of how the display works, please see our 
 <a href="../goldenpath/help/hgVcfTrackHelp.html">Haplotype Display help page</a>.
 Briefly, each sample's phased and/or homozygous genotypes are split into haplotypes,
 clustered by similarity around a central variant (in pink), and sorted for
 display by their position in the clustering tree. Click a variant to center on it.
 The tree (as space allows) is drawn in the label area next to the track image.
 Leaf clusters, in which all haplotypes are identical (at least for the variants
 used in clustering), are colored purple.

 <h2>Data Access</h2>
 <p>Most of the data in these tracks are not available for download from UCSC.
 Only individual variants can be browsed on our website.
 But the data can be downloaded
 for free from the original projects. Accessing the 
 data usually requires a click-through license on the respectice websites:

 <h2>Methods</h2>
 <p>
 MXB: Genotyping was performed with the Illumina Multi-Ethnic Global Array
 (MEGA, ~1.8M SNPs), optimized for admixed populations and enriched for
 ancestry-informative and medically relevant variants. Only autosomal, biallelic
 SNPs passing quality control are included. Samples were selected from 898
 recruitment sites, with prioritization of indigenous language speakers. Data
 processing included GenomeStudio &rarr; PLINK conversion, strand alignment, removal
 of duplicates, update of map positions using dbSNP Build 151 and low-quality
 variants/individuals, and relatedness filtering.

 <h2>Credits</h2>
 <p>
 MXB: We thank the Center for Research and Advanced Studies (Cinvestav) of Mexico for
 generating and providing the frequency data, the National Institute of Medical
 Sciences and Nutrition (INCMNSZ) for DNA extraction, and the Ministry of Health
 together with the National Institute of Public Health (INSP) for the design and
 implementation of the National Health Survey 2000 (ENSA 2000). We also thank
