In this blog post, I am very excited to talk about The Broad Institute’s release of the latest version of gnomAD, v 3.1.2, which is now available for use as an annotation source in your SVS or VarSeq projects. For VarSeq users, I also want to point out that gnomAD v3.1.2 can also be used as a population frequency in… Read more »
The Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD) is a resource developed by an international coalition of investigators, with the goal of aggregating and harmonizing both exome and genome sequencing data from a wide variety of large-scale sequencing projects (1). We have covered this annotation in-depth in other blog posts, but this resource contains over 125,000 exome sequences and around 16,000 whole genome… Read more »

This new version boasted data from 125,748 exomes and 15,708 genomes, but the greater updates were the improved QC refinement and more discrete sub-population break downs. Although the majority of samples were counted in the previous 2.0.2 release, the additional… Read more »
