The samples for the 1000 Genomes Project mostly are anonymous and have no associated medical or phenotype data. Variants in this annotation database are sometimes considered to be ‘neutral’ and could be removed if the goal of a study is to look for variants with high penetrance that dispose to rare Mendelian diseases. This database contains all of the variants supplied by the 1000 Genomes Project. The original vcf file can be obtained from here:
All of the annotation data supplied through the INFO fields in the VCF file can be used to annotate, filter or select project variants. A description of the fields available in the database are listed below.
