SUMMARYThe panel codes: YRI is "Yoruba in Ibadan," and there is no Native North American group (1000 Genomes Project / Ensembl reference list) [Connections: Genetics (honest), Nov 5, 2026]
RECORDEnsembl's list of 1000 Genomes population codes gives YRI "Yoruba in Ibadan, Nigera" [sic], ASW "American's of African Ancestry in SW USA" [sic], ACB "African Carribean in Barbados" [sic], and, under the super-population "AMR, Ad Mixed American," MXL (Mexican ancestry, Los Angeles), PUR (Puerto Rico), CLM (Medellín, Colombia) and PEL (Lima, Peru). No Native North American population and no US Southeast population is listed
PATTERNthe most-used public panel files Black Americans under "African" (ASW) and has no unmixed Native group from North America, so a Southeastern Native line has no matching reference in it. Ties to P182 in the Library (HGDP has five Native groups, none from the East)
