International Projects

Explore major international genomic projects that are advancing our understanding of human genetic diversity and STR analysis.

1000 Genomes Project

Pioneering project mapping global genetic variation. Current data includes high-coverage (30x) genomes.

HGDP (Human Genome Diversity Project)

Samples from over 50 diverse populations. Key resource for population structure studies.

STRBase (NIST)

Classic resource on STR loci maintained by the NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology).

STRidER (STRs for Identity ENFSI Reference Database)

Validated, standardized database of forensic STR alleles.

Simons Genome Diversity Project (SGDP)

>300 whole genomes from underrepresented populations.

gnomAD (Genome Aggregation Database)

Global database with millions of genomic variants; useful for comparing STRs with SNPs and indels.

Genome in a Bottle

Consortium hosted by NIST dedicated to comprehensive characterization of benchmark human genomes.

YHRD (Y-Chromosome Haplotype Reference Database)

Curated global database of Y-STR haplotypes for forensic comparison, ancestry inference and population studies.

Human Pangenome Project

New genomic reference with multiple haplotypes, addressing limitations of GRCh38.
