To get areas missing, these genetic scientists mix 2 or more to create an ethnic group.......like the lombard paper GBR+CEU = Central Europe/Germany or TSI+IBS = Balkans
this is due to the fact that from TSI to india there is no abbreviation.


currently there is chit-chat to change to the below or add some of the below

 

[torzio]

While awaiting information.....my opinion is that there will be no additional samples, but only combinations of existing samples to create new abbreviations....as an example
TSI + CEU could be NIT (bergamo )
