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: It is found that the domesticated silkworms are clearly genetically differentiated from the wild ones, but they have maintained large levels of genetic variability, suggesting a short domestication event involving a large number of individuals.

TL;DR: A calibrated phylogenetic tree is constructed on the basis of binary single-nucleotide variants and the more complex variants onto it, estimating the number of mutations for each class and shows bursts of extreme expansion in male numbers that have occurred independently among the five continental superpopulations examined.

TL;DR: Single-variant and gene-based association analyses of nonsynonymous SNVs did not identify newly associated genes for psoriasis in the regions subjected to targeted resequencing, which suggests that coding variants in the 1,326 targeted genes contribute only a limited fraction of the overall genetic risk for Psoriasis.
