The 1000 Genomes Project is currently one of the most widely used genomic datasets, comprising 2504 samples from a diverse range of populations from around the world and deriving from whole-genome sequence at an average of ~7.4x coverage as well as whole exome sequencing. Recently, the New York Genome Center resequenced all 2504 samples to an average coverage of 30x and publicly released preliminary genotype callsets for these on the most recent build of the human reference genome (hg38). We processed these data into a haplotype reference panel, which is now available in beta for use in imputation of human low-pass sequencing data on hg38.
