EGAD50000001558	The Emirati Genome Project (EGP) Variome comprises allele frequency data derived from 43,608 individuals sequenced as part of the national genome program in the United Arab Emirates. Samples were processed at the M42 EGP Facility and sequenced to a minimum of 30x coverage using Illumina NovaSeq 6000 short-read technology. Variant calling and alignment were performed using the DRAGEN pipeline (v3.9) against the GRCh38 reference genome. This dataset contains a total of 421,605,069 short variants (SNVs and indels), stored in VCF format. Each variant is annotated with population-level metrics in the INFO field, including: AC (alternate allele count) AF (alternate allele frequency) RC (reference allele count) RF (reference allele frequency) For convenience, VCF files are split by chromosome (chr1–22, X, Y), compressed and indexed using bgzip and tabix.
