TL;DR: The 1000 Genomes Project set out to provide a comprehensive description of common human genetic variation by applying whole-genome sequencing to a diverse set of individuals from multiple populations, and has reconstructed the genomes of 2,504 individuals from 26 populations using a combination of low-coverage whole-generation sequencing, deep exome sequencing, and dense microarray genotyping.

TL;DR: The HapMap will allow the discovery of sequence variants that affect common disease, will facilitate development of diagnostic tools, and will enhance the ability to choose targets for therapeutic intervention.

TL;DR: The 1000 Genomes Project as mentioned in this paper provided a comprehensive description of common human genetic variation by applying whole-genome sequencing to a diverse set of individuals from multiple populations, and reported the completion of the project, having reconstructed the genomes of 2,504 individuals from 26 populations using a combination of low-coverage whole genome sequencing, deep exome sequencing and dense microarray genotyping.

TL;DR: The nearly complete genomic sequence and comparative analyses of the closely related species Caenorhabditis briggsae have been integrated into WormBase, including gene predictions, ortholog assignments and a new synteny viewer to display the relationships between the two species.

TL;DR: The pilot phase of the 1000 Genomes Project is presented, designed to develop and compare different strategies for genome-wide sequencing with high-throughput platforms, and the location, allele frequency and local haplotype structure of approximately 15 million single nucleotide polymorphisms, 1 million short insertions and deletions, and 20,000 structural variants are described.
