Is Human_G1K_V37.Fasta Hg19?

Recently got humang1kv37.fasta file Just curious if this is hg19 sequence? Because hg19 is also called GRCh37. What does "g1k" mean?

If not, from where can I get the chromosome sequence for humang1kv37.fasta?

thanks

It is one version of hg19, but not the only one. From the linked page: "For the phase1 analysis we mapped to GRCh37. Our fasta file which can be found here called human_g1k_v37.fasta.gz, it contains the autosomes, X, Y and MT but no haplotype sequence or EBV"

There is a good documentation about 4 commonly used "hg19" references here.

hg19 (ucsc.hg19.fasta, MD5sum: a244d8a32473650b25c6e8e1654387d6)

b37 (Homo_sapiens_assembly19.fasta, MD5sum: 886ba1559393f75872c1cf459eb57f2d)

GRCh37 (GRCh37.p13.genome.fasta, MD5sum: c140882eb2ea89bc2edfe934d51b66cc)
