The NHGRI Sample Repository for Human Genetic Research offers DNA samples, cell lines and iPSCs from the populations that contributed to the International HapMap Consortium, the 1000 Genomes Project Consortium, and the Human Pagenome Reference Consortium. All of the biospecimens were contributed with consent to broad genetic and genomic data release and to their use in a wide range of genetic variation research, including studies that involve large-scale genotyping, sequencing, gene expression, epigenomics and proteomics. The samples include no identifying or clinical information, and are a high-quality, renewable resource for the study of genetic variation in a range of human populations.
The NHGRI Repository houses biospecimens from 28 of the HapMap, 1000 Genomes Project, and Human Pagenome Reference Consortium population samples. The CEPH Utah samples are available through the NIGMS Repository.
