[ensembl-dev] Automate the SNP variant result from "population genetics"

Hi Anja,

Thank you so much for the reply. It certainly helped me to get to the right
direction of my query. However, could you please help me understand a few
queries regarding the same:

To start of with, I find the "Rest API" a very clean approach to get
variant information.

a) My aim is to find if a SNP (rsID let say rs769971095) share populations,
or in other words, if this rsID mutation can be found in more than one
population. From the links you provided I see that I can find an answer but
am confused between "population allele frequency" and "population genotype
frequency". To fulfill my aim, data for this rsID should be taken from
"population allele frequency" or "population genotype frequency"?

b) The population name given in the "example output" of the "Rest API" are
in short form like 'AMR', 'SAS' etc. Could you please let me know how can i
retrieve the full population name for a given rsID?

Thanks much!
DK
