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…

NIAGADS DSS Releases 20K Whole Exomes

NIAGADS is pleased to announce the release of 19,922 whole exomes called on GRCh38 through the Data Sharing Service (DSS). Nine different studies contributed to the release, including 10,088 ADSP Discovery Case Control WES samples, 3,144 ADGC African American WES samples, 75 Brkanac Families WES samples, 346 Corticobasal degeneration WES…
