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 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: In this paper, the authors describe an integrated set of eight structural variant classes comprising both balanced and unbalanced variants, which are constructed using short-read DNA sequencing data and statistically phased onto haplotype blocks in 26 human populations.

TL;DR: It is found that recent Numt insertions are derived from throughout the mitochondrial genome, including the D-loop, and have integration biases that differ in some respects from previous studies on older, fixed NumtS in the reference genome.

TL;DR: This paper presented a global atlas of 4,728 metagenomic samples from mass-transit systems in 60 cities over three years, representing the first systematic, worldwide catalog of the urban microbial ecosystem.
