<p>In GENOMICS tab of UK BRAP, if I type <code>7:140476600-140480852</code> coordinate in search bar and the same time after filtering my cohort for this coordinate, in <code>ALLELE TABLE</code> I see columns like:</p>

<p>I Googled a lot but no clue where population allele count and frequency come from</p>
<p>Does anyone have any experience with this?</p>
