AB_MEDIAN field in older gnomad releases r2. and 3?

Hi,

I’m trying to check the median allele balance for variants in the gnomAD datasets. However, I can’t seem to be able to find the AB_MEDIAN field in r2.1.1 or the r2_liftover or v3 files. Has this field been removed and is it still possible to access files with this information?

We no longer calculate the median allele balance for variants. However, we calculate distributions of allele balance per variant and release these distributions as part of our variant information histograms:

ab_hist_alt: Histogram for AB in heterozygous individuals calculated on high quality genotypes.

ab_hist_alt: Histogram for AB in heterozygous individuals calculated on all genotypes.

Additional documentation for these histograms is available on our v4 Hail Tables help page.
