IGSR Search Populations

Overview

Search 1000 Genomes Project populations from the International Genome Sample Resource (IGSR). The 1000 Genomes Project characterized genetic variation across 26 populations grouped into 5 superpopulations: AFR (African), AMR (Admixed American), EAS (East Asian), EUR (European), SAS (South Asian). Returns population codes, names, geographic coordinates, sample counts, and superpopulation assignments. Use this to find populations for allele frequency comparisons, population stratification analysis, or ancestry-specific variant studies.
