Exome sequencing of 1000 population control samples from the UK 1958 birth cohort

Exome sequencing from 1,000 UK population samples (the ICR1000 Exome series), using samples from the 1958 Birth Cohort Collection, a population-based collection of all individuals born in the UK in one week in 1958 (http://www.cls.ioe.ac.uk). DNA libraries were prepared from genomic DNA using the Illumina TruSeq sample preparation kit. DNA was fragmented using Covaris technology and the libraries were prepared without gel size selection. Target enrichment was performed in pools of six libraries using the Illumina TruSeq Exome Enrichment kit. The captured DNA libraries were PCR amplified using the supplied paired-end PCR primers. Sequencing was performed with an Illumina HiSeq2000 (v3 flow cell, one pool per lane) generating 2x100-bp reads.
