Abstract
The 1000 Genomes Project provides sequencing data on 3,202 samples from 26 populations spanning five continental regions with no access or use restrictions. The kgp R package provides consistent and comprehensive metadata about samples and populations in the 1000 Genomes Project and other population sequencing data in the International Genome Sample Resource collection. The kgp package is distributed via the Comprehensive R Archive Network (CRAN) at https://cran.r-project.org/package=kgp. Source code is available on GitHub at https://github.com/stephenturner/kgp. Further documentation is online at https://stephenturner.github.io/kgp/.
