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 Information:

Population Name	Sample Name	ALFRED UID	Number of Chromosomes
Pima, Mexico	Mexican Pima, Unrelated	SA000026I	106

Relation to Other Samples: Unrelated individuals from the family material in SA000034H
Estimated heterozygosities for various sites:

Sample Description: Collected with informed consent from Pima individuals living near the eastern border of the state of Sonora, Mexico in the region around the village of Maycoba. Individuals of Pima heritage were identified by census of the region. Subjects were considered full Pima if both their parents were full Pima. This sample was Collected by L.O. Shulz.
