1000 Genomes Announcements

New filtration query builder in the IGSR data portal

Tue, 12 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

New feature announcement!

We have added a filtration query builder to the IGSR data portal to make it easier to filter samples on population, data collection and sequencing technology.

The filtration query builder lets you combine multiple filters, define inclusion/exclusion, add AND/OR operators, and control evaluation order with group/ungroup functionality. This should make it simpler to explore IGSR data and narrow results to find the data subsets of interest to you. See below for a quick demonstration.

You can try the query builder in the IGSR data portal.

Improvements to Data Portal Search

Mon, 30 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

We’ve improved the search bar in the IGSR data portal. Search now does a better job of combining normal word matching with partial matching, so it is more likely to find what you expect whether you search by a full name, a shorter term, or part of an identifier.

For example, searching for the data collection “MAGE RNA-seq” now returns the files that are actually linked to that data collection, instead of a much larger mixed set of unrelated files matched through the substring “RNA”. Similarly, searching for a population such as “Toscani in Italy” now behaves more consistently, giving the same expected result as searching for “Toscani”, so you no longer need to know the exact name to get accurate results. See below.

As well as this, we have added a ‘Download the list’ button to allow download of the full file list generated by your search.

New publications describing variants from the 1000 Genomes Project samples from HGSVC and collaborators

Wed, 23 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Complex genetic variation in nearly complete human genomes by Logsdon, G.A., et al describes an extensive catalog of variation from the near complete assemblies of 65 human genomes from diverse 1000 Genomes Project samples. These high quality assemblies enable a more comprehensive insight into all variant types, including those within complex regions.

Data is available via the HGSVC3 collection.

Structural variation in 1,019 diverse humans based on long-read sequencing by Schloissnig, S et al describes the characterisation of structural variants in 1019 samples from 26 different the 1000 Genomes Project populations. This study used intermediate-coverage long read sequencing and a novel integration of linear and graph genome-based analyses.

Data is available via the 1KG_ONT_VIENNA collection.

New MAGE RNA-seq data release

Thu, 12 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Last year, a group from Johns Hopkins University released Illumina short-read RNA-seq data from 731 cell lines from the 1000 Genomes Project, approximately evenly distributed across the 26 geographically diverse populations. They used these data to examine the genetic sources of variation in gene expression and splicing, including the mapping of expression and splicing quantitative trait loci (e/sQTLs). This work is described in “Sources of gene expression variation in a globally diverse human cohort” by Taylor et al.

More information and links to raw and processed data are available on the MAGE page.

New HGSVC data release

Tue, 24 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0000

The Human Genome Structural Variation Consortium (HGSVC) have constructed and analysed complete haplotype sequences, including fully resolved centromeres and segmental duplications, from 65 individuals of diverse ancestries. This forms the first population-scale set of human genome assemblies resolved to near T2T completeness. This work is described in Complex genetic variation in nearly complete human genomes by Logsdon, Ebert, Audano, Loftus et al.

More information and links to data are available on the HGSVC3 page.

New structural variants from the 1000 Genomes Project samples

Sun, 21 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0000

A new data collection and preprint describing structural variants from 1,019 samples from twenty-six 1000 Genomes Project populations is available.

Long-read sequencing and structural variant characterization in 1,019 samples from the 1000 Genomes Project by Schloissnig,et al uses intermediate-level long read sequencing and a novel method integrating linear and graph based calling methods to type over 160,000 structural variants in this population scale catalogue.

Data is available via: 1KG_ONT_Vienna

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

Thu, 30 Sep 2021 00:00:00 +0000

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

Fri, 14 Aug 2020 00:00:00 +0000

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:

The phase three 1000 Genomes Project low-coverage and exome data on GRCh37, as used for the 1000 Genomes Project phase three analysis published in 2015
The phase three 1000 Genomes Project low-coverage and exome data realigned to GRCh38 (used to support recalling from the data against GRCh38)
30x high-coverage data from NYGC on GRCh38, where an integrated call set is being produced and preliminary call sets have been shared

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.

Infrastructure improvements 16-20th March

Wed, 26 Feb 2020 00:00:00 +0000

To enable future expansion of EMBL-EBI’s resources and services, one of the data centres supporting our services will be moving to a new location in the period 16-20th March. The data hosted by IGSR will remain available throughout this time. Data can be accessed via Globus and FTP. The usual FTP URL ftp.1000genomes.ebi.ac.uk may experience some downtime but the data can also be accessed via FTP at ftp.ebi.ac.uk/1000g. Our Aspera download service is expected to experience downtime during this period and we apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. Should you have any questions please contact us at info@1000genomes.org.

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

Tue, 12 Mar 2019 00:00:00 +0000

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

Mon, 17 Dec 2018 00:00:00 +0000

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.

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.

Wed, 14 Mar 2018 00:00:00 +0000

Our FTP site will be undergoing maintenance on Thursday 22nd March. This work is due to take place between 10.30am and 2.30pm GMT. During this time, we expect read access to be interrupted, which may disrupt large downloads. The service is expected to return to normal after this period.

If you have any questions regarding this work, please contact us at info@1000genomes.org.

FTP maintenance

Wed, 12 Jul 2017 00:00:00 +0000

Our FTP site will be undergoing maintenance on Friday 21st July. For part of the time that this work is in progress, read access will not be available. The maintenance is scheduled to start at 10am BST with an estimated completion time of 10pm BST. We anticipate that read access will be unavailable for three to four hours within this period.

If you have any questions regarding this work, please contact us at info@1000genomes.org.

Aspera update

Fri, 07 Jul 2017 00:00:00 +0000

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.

1000 Genomes GRCh38 alignments published

Wed, 24 May 2017 00:00:00 +0000

The alignments of the 1000 Genomes data to GRCh38 the we announced previously are now described in GigaScience.

Details of the alignments are available in the publication and earlier announcement but please contact us at info@1000genomes.org if you have any questions.

Updated GRCh38 liftover

Fri, 05 May 2017 00:00:00 +0000

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

Thu, 23 Jun 2016 00:00:00 +0000

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.

Possible browser downtime

Tue, 07 Jun 2016 00:00:00 +0000

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. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. Data from 1000 Genomes will, however, still be accessible via Ensembl.

Our plan to rearrange the 1000 Genomes FTP site

Mon, 07 Sep 2015 00:00:00 +0000

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 alignment BAM files and sequence read fastq files have been moved

Wed, 27 May 2015 00:00:00 +0000

Phase 3 Imputation Panels from Beagle, Mach and Impute2

Mon, 17 Nov 2014 00:00:00 +0000

Imputation panels based on the Phase 3 release are now available from Beagle, Mach and Impute2

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

Thu, 06 Nov 2014 00:00:00 +0000

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.

Please send any questions about this data set to info@1000genomes.org

Short Tandem Repeats added to the 1000 Genomes Release #ASHG14

Sat, 18 Oct 2014 00:00:00 +0000

We have added two sets of STR predictions and genotypes to the 1000 Genomes dataset.

These are available in the supporting directory strs.

The call set were created using LobSTR and RepeatSeq respectively.

The sites are genotyped in all 2535 individuals who were used in our final release. This includes the 31 individuals who are related to other individuals in the main call set.

Chromosome X variants added to the final release #ASHG14

Sat, 18 Oct 2014 00:00:00 +0000

We have now added a set of Chromosome X variants as part of our final release.

The genotypes and sites are available in our main release directory.

We will update the file during November. We need to add functional annotation and super population allele frequency and per site sequence depth information.

The 1000 Genomes Project has released the variants, genotypes, and integrated haplotypes for the complete set of 2504 samples from 26 populations. This tutorial describes the data sets, how to access them, and how to use them.

The tutorial will be on Sunday 19th between 8 and 9:30pm in the Convention Centre, Room 24ABC in the Upper Level.

The program is listed on our tutorial web page.

No registration is needed.

Please send any questions about the tutorial to info@1000genomes.org

The Phase 3 Variant set with additional allele frequencies, functional annotation and other datasets

Mon, 15 Sep 2014 00:00:00 +0000

Our final release of the Phase 3 variant set is now available on the FTP site.

This update represents version 5 of our release. The issues which have been resolved since our initial release are covered in the Known Issues README

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

Please send any questions about this data set to info@1000genomes.org

The Allele Frequency Calculator #1000GB

Wed, 25 Jun 2014 00:00:00 +0000

We have created a new tool to calculate population specific allele frequencies. The Allele Frequency Calculator will calculate and provide a table of population specific allele frequencies from a vcf file and sample panel file.

The tool is documented on this website

The tool currently has two run modes, the first gives you the allele frequencies for a particular population. The second is run by selecting the ALL population and this gives you the allele frequency for all the populations as well as the global allele frequency.

Please do note in genomic regions which are very variant dense or very large regions the tool will run more slowly.

Please send any questions about the tool to info@1000genomes.org

The Initial Phase 3 variant list and phased genotypes

Tue, 24 Jun 2014 00:00:00 +0000

ShapeIt2 phased haplotypes for the Phase1 integrated variant calls

Tue, 17 Sep 2013 00:00:00 +0000

Olivier Delaneau and Jonathan Marchini have provided improved haplotypes for the phase1 integrated call set on the autosomes generated using SHAPEIT2.

ftp://ftp.1000genomes.ebi.ac.uk/vol1/ftp/phase1/analysis_results/shapeit2_phased_haplotypes/

Using a set of validation genotypes at SNP and biallelic indels Olivier and Jonathan have been able to show that these haplotypes have lower genotype discordance and improved imputation performance into downstream GWAS samples, especially at low frequency.

New sequence index released

Wed, 20 Feb 2013 00:00:00 +0000

In order to meet phase3 release timelines, we are going to make more frequent sequence index releases. Basically we are checking data submission weekly; a new sequence index will be released when 25 or more new samples or 250GB or more new sequences are detected. This way BAM files can be created incrementally without much delay.

Consensus indel call sets

Fri, 15 May 2009 00:00:00 +0000

Indel calls have been made by several groups on the trio children NA12878 (CEU) and NA19240 (YRI).

There is a README which describes the call set

These calls are available on the ftp site EBI:NCBI

Initial release of low coverage pilot data

Sun, 15 Feb 2009 00:00:00 +0000

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

Tue, 23 Dec 2008 00:00:00 +0000

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.
