How many genomes were sequenced as part of the 1000 Genomes?

The 1000 Genomes Project [10] which was launched in 2008, aims to provide the most detailed map of human genetic variation by sequencing about 2,500 genomes from about 25 global populations.

What is the 1000 human genome project?

The 1000 Genomes Project is a collaboration among research groups in the US, UK, and China and Germany to produce an extensive catalog of human genetic variation that will support future medical research studies.

Why is the 1000 genome project important?

The 1000 Genomes Project aims to provide a much more detailed map of genetic variation on more than 1000 samples from worldwide populations. Some bioinformatics tools exist to view and utilize these data, although future bioinformatics development and integration with current resources will be necessary.

How many samples are in the 1000 Genomes Project?

The data from phase three of the 1000 Genomes Project was subsequently reanalysed on GRCh38. Following this work, the samples have been resequenced to high-coverage, with additional related samples being sequenced, bringing the total number of samples up to 3,202.

How do I download data from 1000 genomes?

The 1000 Genomes data is available via ftp, http, Aspera and Globus. Any standard tool like wget or ftp should be able to download from our ftp or http mounted sites. There are no official torrents of the 1000 Genomes Project data sets.

How is the 1000 genome project used?

Common uses of the 1000 Genomes dataset include genotype imputation supporting Genome-wide Association Studies, mapping expression Quantitative Trait Loci, filtering non-pathogenic variants from exome, whole genome and cancer genome sequencing projects, and genetic analysis of population structure and molecular …

When did the 1000 genome Project end?

The 1000 Genomes Project ran between 2008 and 2015, creating the largest public catalogue of human variation and genotype data.

What is the final phase of the 1000 Genomes Project?

The final phase of the 1000 Genomes Project was phase 3 and represents 2504 samples on GRCh37. The data from phase three of the 1000 Genomes Project was subsequently reanalysed on GRCh38.

Does NCBI still host 1000 Genomes Project data?

The NCBI FTP site and the Amazon S3 bucket still host 1000 Genomes Project data but no longer mirror new data. Both these locations reflect the structure of the FTP site in August 2015 and hold all the pilot, phase 1 and phase 3 data. NCBI and Amazon do not hold new alignments based on GRCh38, the current reference genome.

How do I view 1000 Genomes and other SNP data?
