ALFRED: allele frequency database

The ALlele FREquency Database
ALFRED is a resource of gene frequency data on human populations
supported by the Yale Center for Medical Informatics.

Sample Description: Unrelated Ethiopian Jews collected by Prof. B. Bonne-Tamir as part of the repository of samples on Israeli populations (National Laboratory for the Genetics of Israeli Populations). A sample being routinely studied in the laboratory of Drs. K. and J. Kidd.
