SweGen: a whole-genome data resource of genetic variability in a cross-section of the Swedish population

The SweGen contains whole-genome variant frequencies for 1000 Swedish individuals generated within the SweGen project. The data is intended to be used as a resource for the research community and clinical genetics laboratories. DNA from blood samples were whole genome sequenced using Illumina X technology at SciLifeLab Uppsala and SciLifeLab Stockholm. The sequencing data was analyzed with the GATK best practices pipeline to obtain a joint called variant frequency dataset.
