The International Genome Sample Resource
The 1000 Genomes Project created a catalogue of common human genetic variation, using openly consented samples from people who declared themselves to be healthy. The reference data resources generated by the project remain heavily used by the biomedical science community.
The International Genome Sample Resource (IGSR) maintains and shares the human genetic variation resources built by the 1000 Genomes Project. We also update the resources to the current reference assembly, add new data sets generated from the 1000 Genomes Project samples and add data from projects working with other openly consented samples.

New filtration query builder in the IGSR data portal
New feature announcement!
We have added a filtration query builder to the IGSR data portal to make it easier to filter samples on population, data collection and sequencing technology.
The filtration query builder lets you combine multiple filters, define inclusion/exclusion, add AND/OR operators, and control evaluation order with group/ungroup functionality. This should make it simpler to explore IGSR data and narrow results to find the data subsets of interest to you. See below for a quick demonstration.
You can try the query builder in the IGSR data portal.
