EGAD00001007783	The PGDP dataset includes 58 whole genome sequences for Papua New Guinean individuals from different locations. DNA was extrated from saliva samples (Oragen kit). Sequencing libraries were prepared using the TruSeq DNA PCR-Free HT kit. 150 bp paired-end sequencing was performed on the Illumina HiSeq X5 sequencer. The PGDP dataset provides Fastq and BAM files.
