ADSP Umbrella Dataset October 2024 Update: New Files Added to NG00067

New files have been released in ng00067.v13 for the R2 20K Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) and R3 17K and R4 36K Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS). To apply for this dataset, see our application guide. For those who already have access to NG00067, files will be automatically available in compliance with…

Creating the Largest Joint-Called Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) Dataset for Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) 

Over the last 20 years, the technology for DNA sequencing has rapidly evolved, making it possible to sequence individual whole genomes on a large scale. But when trying to find the underlying genetic causes of disease, every sequence donated matters. How can the sequences generated using older technology be reused?…

ADSP Releases Additional 19K Whole Genomes via NIAGADS DSS

On October 6, 2022, the Alzheimer’s Disease Sequencing Project (ADSP) released a new dataset comprised of 19,456 newly sequenced genomes together with joint genotype calls totaling 36,361 genomes with previously released genomes. The data release includes sequencing reads in the CRAM file format, individual sample genotype calls in the genomic…

ADSP releases quality-controlled whole-genome data on nearly 17,000 samples

NIAGADS is pleased to announce the release of the Release 3 (R3) WGS ADSP quality-controlled joint genotype called pVCF containing 16,905 samples. Additionally, this release includes a quality-controlled X-chromosome pseudoautosomal region (PAR) pVCF containing 20,503 whole exomes from Release 2 (R2) as well as R3 individual-level VCF structural variant (SV)…

NIAGADS DSS Releases Additional 17K Whole Genomes

NIAGADS is pleased to announce the release of whole genome sequencing (WGS) data from 16,906 samples through the Data Sharing Service (DSS). The data release includes CRAMs, gVCFs, and project-level VCFs across all samples. The pVCF released here is provided as a preview to the formal ADSP quality control that will be released in a few months.  Additionally, this release…
