As far as I know, the "reference" genome in a genome browser is usually the genome of a single sequenced individual.

I have often wondered if there is a special track in genome browsers consisting of the major allele at every position for that population (EAS, EUR, SAS, etc). It's true this track would change as more and more individuals are sequenced, but wouldn't such a track be widely useful?
