A variation call set obtained from the analysis of Gambian Genome Variation Project samples on GRCh38

We have recently published a Data Note describing our analysis of 505 samples from four Gambian populations in the Gambian Genome Variation Project (GGVP) on GRCh38.

For the analysis we have used a multi-caller site discovery approach along with imputation and phasing to produce a phased biallelic single nucleotide variant (SNV) and insertion/deletion (INDEL) call set. Variation had not previously been explored on the GRCh38 human genome assembly for 387 of the samples. Compared to our previous work with the 1000 Genomes Project data on GRCh38 described here, we identified over nine million novel SNVs and over 870 thousand novel INDELs.

The files generated in this analysis can be accessed from our FTP. Including the alignment files used in the variant identification http://ftp.1000genomes.ebi.ac.uk/vol1/ftp/data_collections/gambian_genome_variation_project/data/ and the call set itself http://ftp.1000genomes.ebi.ac.uk/vol1/ftp/data_collections/gambian_genome_variation_project/release/20200217_biallelic_SNV/

More information on the samples analysed in this work can be found in the IGSR portal.

Frequency distributions and genotypes are available in Ensembl.

3,202 samples at high-coverage from NYGC

Earlier this year, the New York Genome Center (NYGC) released high-coverage (30x) data for an additional 698 samples from the 1000 Genomes Project sample collections. These 698 samples are related to the original set of 2,504 samples previously sequenced by NYGC. The 2,504 samples are a set of samples unrelated to each other that made up the panel used by the 1000 Genomes Project in its third (and final) phase. This brings the total number of samples sequenced to high-coverage by NYGC to 3,202, in work funded by NHGRI.

NYGC aligned the data to the GRCh38 reference assembly and the CRAMs have been shared and are listed in our data portal. These files can be accessed from FTP sites hosted by EMBL-EBI and NCBI, and are also hosted on AWS and AnVIL. Details on accessing and using the data can be found on our page for this data collection.

This high-coverage data adds to the previous data sets, giving us:

These data collections, covering large numbers of samples, are supplemented by other data collections in IGSR where a wider range of technologies have been applied to subsets of the samples. Genomic sequence data is also available for samples that were not part of the 1000 Genomes Project. Our data portal can be used to explore the main data sets in IGSR, with additional (and preliminary) data sets available via our FTP site.

Variant calls from 1000 Genomes Project data on the GRCh38 reference assembly - updates

We have produced an extended integrated and phased biallelic SNV and INDEL call set. This uses the same input data sets as our biallelic SNV call set but now includes INDELs in the creation of the phased call set.

The files include: per chromosome files with genotypes for all samples, a genome wide sites file and genotype files for each of the supporting call sets. The main files contain only unrelated individuals, with details for related individuals available in a separate set of files. Data files are available at: http://ftp.1000genomes.ebi.ac.uk/vol1/ftp/data_collections/1000_genomes_project/release/20190312_biallelic_SNV_and_INDEL/

A data note describing the biallelic SNV set is now available at Wellcome Open Research.

We will work toward making details of the SNV and INDEL data set available as soon as possible. The data is in the process of being submitted to EVA.

Please contact info@1000genomes.org with any questions.

Variant calls from 1000 Genomes Project data calling against GRCh38

An integrated and phased biallelic SNV call set, generated from alignments of the 1000 Genomes phase three low coverage and exome sequence data, is available on our FTP site. These calls were called directly against GRCh38. This data set combines call sets generated using GATK, FreeBayes and BCFtools, with subsequent imputation and phasing carried out using Beagle and SHAPEIT2. A recent poster describing the methods used in generating this data is available and a data note is in preparation. We are also in the process of submitting the data to EVA/dbSNP.

The files include: per chromosome files with genotypes for all samples, a genome wide sites file and genotype files for each of the supporting call sets. The main files contain only unrelated individuals, with details for related individuals available in a separate set of files.

Data files are available at: http://ftp.1000genomes.ebi.ac.uk/vol1/ftp/data_collections/1000_genomes_project/release/20181203_biallelic_SNV/

We will work toward releasing a pre-print of the data note as soon as possible but, in the meantime, please contact info@1000genomes.org with any questions.

Aspera update

Our Aspera service is being updated. As part of this work, the service is being moved to new hardware and the configuration is being updated.

The service can be used as before but command line users should add the port specification -P33001 to their command. In addition, users whose firewalls block such connections by default will need open ports to the EBI IP address 193.62.193.135. More information on working with Aspera is available in our description of using Aspera to download data.

The upgrade will come into effect from the end of July 2017. The above changes are compatible with the existing service, so we encourage users to adopt any necessary changes now. Prior to the upgraded service coming into use at the end of the month, it is available for testing at fasp-beta.ebi.ac.uk.

Should you have any queries about these changes, please contact us at info@1000genomes.org.

Updated GRCh38 liftover

An updated set of files showing the 1000 Genomes phase three variation calls on GRCh38 is now available. These files are based on dbSNP 149 and a “liftover” mapping from the GRCh37 genome assembly used by the 1000 Genomes Project to the newer GRCh38 assembly. In lifting over, equivalent regions of the two assemblies are identifed, enabling coordinates in one assembly to be mapped to the other. The liftover was done by dbSNP, with additional work contributed by EGA and EVA. As the files contain data from dbSNP, structural variants (those greater than 50bp in length) are not present in these files but can be accessed via Ensembl.

The files are available on our FTP site.

If you have questions about these files, please contact us at info@1000genomes.org.

GRCh38 genome accessibility masks for 1000 Genomes data

As part of the 1000 Genomes Project, which parts of the genome were accessible to the sequencing methods being used was assessed. This was done by looking at the amount of sequence data that aligned to any given location in the reference genome used by the project (GRCh37). Files were created which could be used to mask regions of the genome, if it was considered that they were not accessible to the technologies used.

The sequence data from the 1000 Genomes Project has since then been aligned to the newer reference genome, GRCh38. Based on these alignments, new accessibility masks on GRCh38 have been created and are now available.

Further details on the new mask files are available and information on how the original mask files were used can be found in the main publication from the 1000 Genomes Project.

Tuesday June 07, 2016

Possible browser downtime

Due to necessary maintenance work, there is a possibility that our genome browser may be unavailable for a short period between 10am and 11am British Summer Time on Wednesday 7th June.

Our plan to rearrange the 1000 Genomes FTP site

Starting from the 14th September, we plan to rearrange the 1000 Genomes FTP site to reflect our on going efforts to provide support for the data generated by the 1000 Genomes Project and other data created on the 1000 Genomes cell lines.

This restructure involved creating a data_collections directory which will hold directories for each project or dataset. We plan to remove the headline ftp/data directory and move specific datasets into those data collection directories.

We are also improving our top level FTP READMEs and index files and the old files will be moved into a historical_data directory.

You can get an overview of the planned changes from this attached pdf

We will produce full changelogs which reflect these file moves and no files will be deleted.

If you have any questions about our plans please email info@1000genomes.org

Phase3 variant calls for chrY are available, variant calls for chrX have been updated

Our final release of the Phase 3 variant set is now available on the FTP site, including a newly added VCF file for chrY.

The chrY variant calls were made with a different process from that of the autosomes; a separate README is available in the release directory describing some details.

The chrX VCF file has been updated to include standard annotation including DP, continental super-population allele frequency.

The site file in the release directory is now wgs containing autosomes, chrX and Y.

Two algorithms were used to discover short tandem repeats (STRs) in the phase3 data. However the STRs did not make into the final integrated call set. They are now available separately here.

The VCF files in the main release directory are also now available here in BCF format for faster processing time.

This release includes super population allele frequencies in the main release VCFs and functional annotation from the Ensembl Variant Effect Predictor along side many other datasets in the supporting directory. The complete list of data is covered in the Supporting Directory README. The issues which have been raised and resolved since our initial release are covered in the Known Issues README.

Complete Genomics Data Release

The CG data for 427 samples are available now at:

ftp://ftp.1000genomes.ebi.ac.uk/vol1/ftp/data

Of the 427 samples, 6 samples of the PUR trio and KHV trio were sequenced in both blood and LCL thus the total count of datasets is 433.

CG BAMs, VCFs and tar files can be found under subdirectory NAxxxxxx/cg_data; these files are listed in an index file:

ftp://ftp.1000genomes.ebi.ac.uk/vol1/ftp/complete_genomics_indices/20130820.cg_data.index

The reference data came along with the CG data can be found under subdirectory NAxxxxxx/cg_data/REF_[LCL Blood Buffy]; an index file is put together to summarise the reference files:

ftp://ftp.1000genomes.ebi.ac.uk/vol1/ftp/complete_genomics_indices/20130815.cg_ref_data.index

We also un-tar the tar ball and put the files under NAxxxxxx/cg_data/ASM_[lcl blood buffy]; the untarred files are listed in the following index file:

Official release of phase3 alignment data is available

The official release of phase3 low coverage and exome data is completed and available on the ftp site. The alignment data were generated by Sanger Center. All BAMs have gone through the DCC QA process; samples and runs identified as problematic have been withdrawn. The 20130502.analysis.sequence.index has been updated to reflect the withdrawn:

ftp://ftp.1000genomes.ebi.ac.uk/vol1/ftp/sequence_indices/20130502.analysis.sequence.index

or

ftp://ftp.1000genomes.ebi.ac.uk/vol1/ftp/analysis.sequence.index

Here are the main alignment index files:

Initial release of low coverage pilot data

The first set of SNPs and other supporting data from the low coverage individuals is now officially released on the EBI and NCBI FTP sites associated with the 1000 Genomes project.

This intermediate release of results from the 1000 Genomes project consists of the following (all file paths below are relative to the following root on the two mirror ftp sites: ftp://ftp.1000genomes.ebi.ac.uk/vol1/ftp/release/2009_02/ or ftp://ftp-trace.ncbi.nih.gov/1000genomes/ftp/release/2009_02/).

1. SNP calls from 104 individuals in the low coverage pilot, Pilot 1.

See this file: Pilot1/README_SRP000031_2009_02 for more details on how the calls were made and what the file formats are. All the files related to this set of calls, excepting the human genome reference used (see point 3 below), are in the Pilot1 directory.

See this file: Pilot1/alignments.index for a tab-delimited list of alignment files, one per individual, including md5 checksums for each file. The third and fourth columns give the project id for Pilot1, SRP000031, and the identifier for the corresponding individual. The alignment files are in SAM format (see http://samtools.sourceforge.net/).

Please note these are intermediate results, NOT based on the sequencing data from the complete Pilot.

2. The human genome reference files used can be found in the following directory: ../../technical/reference.

The male and female reference files are in gzipped fasta format, and there are also two index files, for indexing directly into the compressed references, for BAM file manipulation. This index format is defined in the README within that directory.

First data release: SNP data downloads and genome browser representing four high coverage individuals

The first set of SNP calls representing the preliminary analysis of four genome sequences are now available to download through the EBI FTP site and the NCBI FTP site. The README file dealing with the FTP structure will help you find the data you are looking for.

The data can also be viewed directly through the 1000 Genomes browser at http://browser.1000genomes.org. Launch the browser and view a sample region here.

For more information about using the 1000 Genomes browser, download the Quick start guide.

The 1000 Genomes Project announces the release of the first set of SNP calls for 4 individuals that are part of the high coverage pilot project. These SNPs represent the preliminary analysis of a portion of the data so far collected and are released in accordance with the Ft. Lauderdale agreement for community resource projects.

This preliminary release is designed to both provide data to the community and to test the systems used to make the data available including the 1000 Genomes browser available at http://browser.1000genomes.org. Additional updates of this site and the 1000 Genomes browser will take place througout January.

In addition to the SNP files and the 1000 Genomes project browser, raw project data is made available as soon as possible through by NCBI and the EBI. The data consist of README files, fastq files (nucleotides and qualities) suitable for use with most aligners, and md5 checksum data.

Users from the Americas should download the mirrored 1000 Genomes data from NCBI via ftp at: ftp://ftp-trace.ncbi.nih.gov/1000genomes/ or via the Aspera high speed data transfer client at: http://fasp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1000genomes.html.

Users from the Europe and the rest of the would should download the mirrored 1000 Genomes data from the EBI at: ftp://ftp.1000genomes.ebi.ac.uk/. The EBI will be implementing an Aspera client in the near future.

The data available at the EBI and the NCBI are identical. Depending on server load and Internet connectivity some users in the Americas may have faster FTP downloads from the EBI and some users in Europe and the rest of the world may have faster downloads from NCBI.

Raw data for a portion of the project is already available through the Short Read Archive at the NCBI and the European Read Archive at the EBI. These comprehensive archives are specifically designed for short read data and will be making the complete project data available as soon as possible

The 1000 Genomes project plans to release summary data including positions of variants in individuals and populations. These data releases will include SNPs and CNV analysis for the six high-coverage individuals and all of the low coverage individuals. Quarterly data releases are planned starting in January 2009.
