Pilot

1000 Genomes Reference
STAGE_PERIOD
2008–2010
DESCRIPTION
Proof-of-concept low-coverage whole-genome sequencing and SNP arrays across multiple populations; established protocols and data model for the main project.

Phase 1

1000 Genomes Reference
STAGE_PERIOD
2010–2011
DESCRIPTION
Expanded low-coverage WGS (~1,092 individuals) with exome capture and dense SNP genotyping; primary SNP and indel reference for early imputation panels.

Phase 3

1000 Genomes Reference
STAGE_PERIOD
2012–2015
DESCRIPTION
~2,504 individuals across 26 populations; GRCh37/38 VCF releases became the standard allele-frequency, LD, and imputation backbone for GWAS and SV pipelines.

High-coverage on GRCh38 (NYGC)

1000 Genomes WGS
STAGE_PERIOD
2019–
DESCRIPTION
High-coverage whole-genome sequencing of a subset of Phase 3 samples on GRCh38; improves rare-variant discovery, phasing, and structural-variant catalogs while staying aligned with the 1000 Genomes sample framework.
