Anyone know if archaic hominin sequences (Vindija, Altai Neanderthals, Denisova) have been re-called in reference build 38 and publicly available somewhere?

A path integral approach for allele frequency dynamics under polygenic selection
Abstract. Many phenotypic traits have a polygenic genetic basis, making it challenging to learn their genetic architectures and predict individual phenotyp

I wrote a review of the recent paper from Harris, Platt, Tishkoff et al. on early human-to-Neanderthal introgression, out as a Dispatch in Current Biology.

This is a really interesting paper: www.cell.com/current-biol...
Early human introgression into Neanderthals around 250 thousand years ago, resulting in up to 6% human DNA in Neanderthals. And then evidence that human-introgressed alleles were selected against after their introduction.

What I thought was an easy algebra problem, that is giving me a headache: I am looking for a way to generate all subsets of the power set for a given K that are closed under union of disjoint sets and complementation of nested sets.
