Downloading Genomes from the 1000 Genome Project
I was given the task of finding and downloading the entire assembled genomic sequence of 10 healthy humans (preferably male and of the same ethnic origin).
I went to the following FTP site ftp://ftp-trace.ncbi.nih.gov/1000genomes/ftp/data/ suggested by the 1000 Genomes Project webpage.
There are a thousand directories beginning with HG or NA. I am assuming these are the IDs given to the individuals whose genomes are being sequenced.
When I looked at a few of these directories, they contain .bam files and .fastq files which look like RNA-seq or DNA-seq data. Also, I only see data on chromosomes 11 and 20.
If there is anyone who can point me where can I download the entire assembled genomes in FASTA format, it would be greatly appreciated.

Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM -
Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.
We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing...
