Mexico Biobank (MXB): This track displays phased alleles from the Mexico Biobank Project (MXB), based on array genotyping of 6,011 individuals sampled across all 32 states of Mexico during the 2000 National Health Survey (ENSA 2000) conducted by the National Institute of Public Health (INSP). Frequencies can be plotted onto a map on MexVar. The hg38 track was lifted from hg19. - (Publication?)
Simons Genome Diversity Project (SGDP): Funded by the Simons Foundation, the Simons Genome Diversity Project is a large-scale effort that sequenced high-coverage genomes from 300 individuals (279 in this track) representing 142 diverse and often indigenous populations worldwide. Its goal was to capture the full range of human genetic diversity to better understand population history, migration, and 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 @@ -115,32 +114,39 @@ 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 the ENSA-Genomics Consortium for their contributions to sample collection and data processing that made possible the construction of the MXB genomic resource.
