Hi Everyone,

I am trying to find a comprehensive terminology/term-list for
race/ethnicity and population descriptions. For example, dbSNP has a
"population type" which is different from what Hapmap uses. I am
looking for something beyond the usual, white/african/pacific islander
etc that come on govt forms. (a terminology that would have Ashkenazi
Jews for example).

Any pointers/suggestions/comments?

Regards,
Nigam.
