  • ALFA: The NCBI ALlele Frequency Aggregator pipeline computes allele frequencies from approved, unrestricted dbGaP studies and makes them publicly available through dbSNP. Its goal is to release frequency data from over one million dbGaP subjects to aid discoveries involving common and rare variants with biological or disease relevance. The R4 release includes 408,709 subjects and allele frequencies for 15.5 million rs sites, including nearly one million ClinVar variants. We converted the NCBI track hub to VCF format, the data is freely available. Genotype and associated individual-level data are accessible through the dbGaP At UCSC, the hg38 VCF was downloaded from SweFreq.

    NPM Singapore: Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) data processing followed GATK4 best practices. GATK4 germline variant analysis workflow written in WDL was adapted to use Nextflow and deployed at the National Supercomputing Centre, Singapore (NSCC). In short, WGS reads were aligned against GRCh38 using the BWA-MEM algorithm and used as input to GATK HaplotypeCaller to produce single sample gVCFs. The gVCF files were joint-called then loaded in Hail, an open-source python-based data analysis library suited to work with population-scale with genomic data collections. Low-quality WGS libraries and low-quality variants were removed. QC-ed variants were functionally annotated using Ensembl Variant Effect Predictor (VEP) (version 95). Functional annotations for variant impacting protein-coding were also complemented with information on the potential alteration to their cognate protein's 3D structure and drug binding ability.
