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.

The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...04-22-2024, 07:01 AM -
Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...04-04-2024, 04:25 PM
