Latest Announcements
The 1000 Genomes Project is holding a Community Meeting at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor on the 12th and 13th of July 2012
The Meeting is meant to showcase advances made by the 1000 Genomes Project, both with respect to methods for generation and analysis of sequence data and in our understanding of human genetic variation, show how 1000 Genomes Project data and methodology is advancing our understanding of human disease, both in disease studies that use 1000 Genomes Project data as a reference and in studies that are applying population sequencing and other project technologies in phenotyped samples, highlight other cutting edge sequencing studies and technologies in humans and finally to generate discussion and lay the ground work for the next round of community resource sequencing projects.

Recent project announcements
Our 1000 Genomes Browser has been updated to contain the Integrated Phase 1 variant set. It has also be moved to Ensembl version 65.
This update includes improved navigation and a track for the Exome Sequencing Project SNPs

Project Overview
The 1000 Genomes Project is an international collaboration to produce an extensive public catalog of human genetic variation, including SNPs and structural variants, and their haplotype contexts. This resource will support genome-wide association studies and other medical research studies.
The genomes of about 2500 unidentified people from about 25 populations around the world will be sequenced using next-generation sequencing technologies. The results of the study will be freely and publicly accessible to researchers worldwide.
Further information about the project is available in the About tab. Information about downloading, browsing or using the 1000 Genomes data is available in the Data tab.
