Question Moved to tskit forum

I have generated a tree sequence using .mut/.anc generated by Relate.

When loaded using tskit.load, the resulting tree sequence has no population labels.
What could be the reason for this?

Note: The original input files have population labels.
Many thank for your assistance.

This may be a question for Relate - but, maybe @nspope knows the answer?

Yup -- looks like Relate's converter tool just doesn't construct the individual / population tables. There's no reason why it shouldn't do this (it'd only require parsing an additional input file; there's even a placeholder in the code for it). Would definitely be worth adding this feature (but that's on the Relate side of things, not tskit).
