Two recent publications have used data from the 1000 Genomes Project to study Alzheimer’s disease.
read moreTwo recent studies used data from the 1000 Genomes Project to investigate inherited risk for heart disease in children and adults.
read moreThe NIGMS Human Genetic Cell Repository (HGCR) and NHGRI Sample Repository for Human Genetic Research (SRHGR) now offer high molecular weight (HMW) DNA samples isolated from cell lines in the collections. HMW DNA is useful for long-read next-generation sequencing and studies that investigate large-scale genomic variation such as structural variation.
read moreTwo recent studies used data from the 1000 Genomes Project to study polygenic risk scores, which use genetic information from many genes across the genome to predict inherited risk of developing common, complex diseases.
read moreIn a study published in the journal Infection, Genetics and Evolution, scientists analyzed genetic variants from publicly available datasets including the 1000 Genomes Project to determine whether differences in genetic variation across populations may account for the observation that certain populations and ethnic groups are disproportionately affected by COVID-19.

read moreIn a study published in the journal Nature, scientists from the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD) Consortium generated a reference map of structural variants from over 14,800 human genome sequences representing diverse global populations.
read moreNHGRI Repository catalog users now have a new tool to identify cell lines and DNA needed for their research. SNP Search allows users to search for a specific genetic variant among Coriell-housed samples that were included in the Phase 3 1000 Genomes Project whole genome sequencing dataset (see more details here).
read moreIn a study published in the journal Cell, scientists from the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium analyzed genetic data from over 600,000 people to see if they could identify genetic variants that increase the risk for one or more psychiatric disorders to study how the variants may contribute to a broad spectrum of mental health disorders.
read moreIn a study published in the journal Nature Communications, scientists studied the genomes of more than 9,700 children with severe undiagnosed developmental disorders to search for genetic changes that may lead to disorders such as autism, epilepsy, intellectual disabilities and heart defects.
