Key Highlights

• The International Genome Sample Resource (IGSR) and the 1000 Genomes Project IGSR was set up to ensure the future usability and accessibility of data from the 1000 Genomes Project and to extend the data set produced by the 1000 Genomes Project to include new data generated from the 1000 Genomes Project samples and new populations where sampling has been carried out in line with IGSR sampling principles
• The 1000 Genomes Project ran between 2008 and 2015, creating the largest public catalogue of human variation and genotype data
• As the project ended, the Data Coordination Centre at EMBL EBI received funding from the Wellcome Trust to create IGSR with the following aims: Ensure the future access to and usability of the 1000 Genomes reference data Incorporate additional published genomic data on the 1000 Genomes samples Expand the data collection to include new populations not represented in the 1000 Genomes Project 1
