Hi. The raw counts (AC and AN) refer to the total number of chromosomes with this allele, and total that were able to be called (whether reference or alternate), respectively. Thus, the allele frequency is AC/AN. The number of homozygotes represents the number of individuals who were found to be homozygotes to that allele on each population studied.
