1. Obtaining the bundle

Inside of the Broad, the latest bundle will always be available in:

/humgen/gsa-hpprojects/GATK/bundle/current

with a subdirectory containing for each reference sequence and associated data files.

External users can download these files (or corresponding .gz versions) from the GSA FTP Server in the directory bundle. Gzipped files should be unzipped before attempting to use them. Note that there is no "current link" on the FTP; users should download the highest numbered directory under current (this is the most recent data set).

2. b37 Resources: the Standard Data Set

• Reference sequence (standard 1000 Genomes fasta) along with fai and dict files
• dbSNP in VCF. This includes two files:
  • The most recent dbSNP release
  • This file subsetted to only sites discovered in or before dbSNPBuildID 129, which excludes the impact of the 1000 Genomes project and is useful for evaluation of dbSNP rate and Ti/Tv values at novel sites.
• HapMap genotypes and sites VCFs
• OMNI 2.5 genotypes for 1000 Genomes samples, as well as sites, VCF
• The current best set of known indels to be used for local realignment (note that we don't use dbSNP for this anymore); use both files:
  • 1000G_phase1.indels.b37.vcf (currently from the 1000 Genomes Phase I indel calls)
  • Mills_and_1000G_gold_standard.indels.b37.sites.vcf
• A large-scale standard single sample BAM file for testing:
  • NA12878.HiSeq.WGS.bwa.cleaned.recal.hg19.20.bam containing ~64x reads of NA12878 on chromosome 20
  • The results of the latest UnifiedGenotyper with default arguments run on this data set (NA12878.HiSeq.WGS.bwa.cleaned.recal.hg19.20.vcf)

Additionally, these files all have supplementary indices, statistics, and other QC data available.

3. hg18 Resources: lifted over from b37

Includes the UCSC-style hg18 reference along with all lifted over VCF files. The refGene track and BAM files are not available. We only provide data files for this genome-build that can be lifted over "easily" from our master b37 repository. Sorry for whatever inconvenience that this might cause.

Also includes a chain file to lift over to b37.

4. b36 Resources: lifted over from b37

Includes the 1000 Genomes pilot b36 formated reference sequence (human_b36_both.fasta) along with all lifted over VCF files. The refGene track and BAM files are not available. We only provide data files for this genome-build that can be lifted over "easily" from our master b37 repository. Sorry for whatever inconvenience that this might cause.

Also includes a chain file to lift over to b37.

5. hg19 Resources: lifted over from b37

Includes the UCSC-style hg19 reference along with all lifted over VCF files.
