Finding human .vcf files online to download

Hello,

As the title suggests, I'm trying to find human .vcf files online to download, is there any recommendations? I find it hard locate them.

human findvcf vcf

1 answer


some common ones include

1000 genomes vcf (large, multi-sample) http://ftp.1000genomes.ebi.ac.uk/vol1/ftp/release/20130502/

ClinVar (clinically relevant variants) https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/clinvar/vcf_GRCh38/

dbSNP VCF https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/variation/docs/human_variation_vcf/

genome in a bottle, deeply sequenced and validated variants for a small number of samples https://www.nist.gov/programs-projects/genome-bottle

there are many others, but not all human data is open either, so these types of resources are special. depends on your interest

I've downloaded them, however when I try to clean the data using my data preproccesing code, it states that the quality does not match. How come? Any tips? I think I'm rather looking for annotated vcf files if they are not. Happy to clarify if needed, not a bioinformatics expert and thank you for your reply.
