#The International Sample Genome Resource (IGSR) - Supporting the 1000 Genomes Data
As the 1000 Genomes Project data generation and analysis drawns to a close the International Sample Genome Resource (IGSR) has been established at EMBL-EBI. IGSR is continuing to support the data generated by the 1000 Genomes Project in the longer term.
The IGSR has three main aims for the 1000 Genomes Dataset:
- Ensure the future usability of the 1000 Genomes reference data;
- Incorporate published genomic data on the 1000 Genomes samples;
- Expand the data collection to include new populations.
Our aims are explained in more details on our Project page Our data will still be hosted on the 1000 Genomes FTP site. There is more information about the data available on our Data page
