[i] aThe number of individuals in each population is listed along with the number of insertions shared by individuals from that population. Population-specific insertions are not present in any of the six other populations.

[ii] bASW, African-Americans in the southwest United States; CEU, CEPH samples with ancestry from northern and western Europe in Utah; CHB, Han Chinese in Beijing; CHS, Han Chinese in southern China; GBR, British from England and Scotland; JPT, Japanese in Tokyo; LWK, Luhya in Webuye, Kenya; MXL, samples with Mexican ancestry in Los Angeles; TSI, Toscani in Italy; and YRI, Yoruba in Ibadan, Nigeria.

[iii] cGrouping populations yields more insertions specific to population groups. Group 1 corresponds to populations with African ancestry; Group 2 corresponds to populations with Chinese or Japanese ancestry; Group 3 includes the remaining populations.

[iv] dGroup 1 is ASW, LWK, and YRI; Group 2 is JPT, CHB, and CHS; and Group 3 is CEU, TSI, and GBR.
