[ensembl-dev] Phase 3 data from 1000 genomes

Hello,

Yes; we hope to have the data available in an upcoming Ensembl release. The
latest dbSNP release (142) includes the data, though there is some latency
in this appearing downstream in the Ensembl Variation database as dbSNP's
release dates are not always compatible with our production schedule for
Ensembl releases.

There is also the issue that 1000 genomes issued their data on GRCh37,
while our current assembly for human is GRCh38 (we provide a mirror service
on GRCh37 but the data powering that is currently frozen on Ensembl release
75).

The 1000 genomes browser is Ensembl powered and the most recent update
includes the phase 3 data, e.g.
browser.1000genomes.org/Homo_sapiens/Variation/Population?v=rs699

You could also use the VEP and its custom annotation feature to incorporate
allele frequency data from the 1000 genomes VCF files, e.g.

perl variant_effect_predictor.pl -i example_GRCh37.vcf -offline -assembly
GRCh37 -force -custom
ftp://ftp.1000genomes.ebi.ac.uk/vol1/ftp/release/20130502/ALL.autosomes.phase3_shapeit2_mvncall_integrated_v5.20130502.sites.vcf.gz,1KGP3,vcf,exact,0,AF

to retrieve the allele frequency (AF) info field for overlapping variants,
see http://www.ensembl.org/info/docs/tools/vep/script/vep_custom.html

Note this example uses tabix's remote functionality to query the file on a
remote server; please spare network resources and download the file to your
local file system if you intend to use it for more than small tests like
this.
