adaptation. It is sampling populations in a way that represents as much
anthropological, linguistic and cultural diversity as possible, and
thus includes many deeply divergent human populations that are not well
represented in other datasets. SGDP emphasizes breadth of global representation and
population history, whereas HGDP emphasizes continuity and
comparability across major population groups. Not all iits data is
public, so this track contains only 279 genomes. For details, see
(Mallick et al, Nature 2016). The hg38 track was lifted from hg19.

929 high-coverage genome sequences from 54 diverse human populations,
26 of which are physically phased using linked-read sequencing. The
Human Genome Diversity Project (HGDP) was launched in the early 1990s
to study the genetic variation and evolutionary history of modern
humans across global populations. Its goal was to document the full
spectrum of human genetic diversity, particularly in indigenous and
geographically isolated groups, to better understand population
structure, migration, adaptation, and disease susceptibility.The
project collected samples from ~1,000 individuals representing over 50
populations worldwide, including groups from Africa, Europe, Asia,
Oceania, and the Americas. These data have become a foundational
reference for population genetics and human evolution studies.
Data can be downloaded from the
Sanger Website. For details, see (Bergström et al, Science 2020).
