Why it matters in GWAS

Super-population labels from 1000 Genomes are commonly used for ancestry-aware QC, PCA interpretation, LD reference selection, and cross-population portability checks.

Example usage

"Samples were projected to the SAS reference panel before downstream GWAS and imputation analysis."

Node order. The current term is first. Next come every page linked from Related terms, in the same top-to-bottom order as that list. Then new terms appear in two-hop layers: for each of those direct neighbors (in that same order), their related terms are appended if not already listed. A third pass does the same for two-hop nodes. The walk stops when a fixed maximum number of nodes is reached.
