What is the 1000 Genome Database?

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.

What did the 1000 Genomes Project do?

The International Genome Sample Resource The 1000 Genomes Project created a catalogue of common human genetic variation, using openly consented samples from people who declared themselves to be healthy. The reference data resources generated by the project remain heavily used by the biomedical science community.

How do you cite the 1000 Genomes Project?

When citing the 1000 Genomes Project in general please use the final phase 3 paper, A global reference for human genetic variation, The 1000 Genomes Project Consortium, Nature 526, 68-74 (01 October 2015) doi:10.1038/nature15393.

How many genomes are in the 1000 Genomes Project?

2,500 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.
