variants present at low frequency in the overall dataset that are present at significantly higher allele frequencies in one or more of the population groups. We found an additional 144,329 novel variants with MAF > 1% in the full GAsP dataset that were present at a frequency of greater than 1% within populations grouped by geography; South Asia, Southeast Asia, Northeast Asia or Oceania (see Supplementary Table 1a for description of samples and population groups included in each geographically defined set). These geographical regions contain many diverse population groups, and additional studies are needed to characterize patterns of genetic variation in these groups and disease relevance.
