APCDR AGV Project: The African Genome Variation Project(dense array genotyping data)

The African Genome Variation Project (AGVP) aims to provide a global resource to understand population diversity and help design, implement and interpret genomic studies in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), and worldwide. The AGVP represents dense genotyping data on 1,481 individuals from 18 ethno-linguistic groups and low coverage whole genome sequencing data on 320 individuals from 7 ethno-linguistic groups in SSA.
