UK Biobank whole cohort directly genotyped and imputed data (~500,000 participants)

Genotype data is available for all 500,000 participants in the UK Biobank cohort. Genotyping has been performed using the Affymetrix UK BiLEVE Axiom array on an initial 50,000 participants and the remaining 450,000 participants have been genotyped using the Affymetrix UK Biobank Axiom® array. The two arrays are extremely similar (with over 95% common content).Quality control and imputation (to over 90 million SNPs, indels and large structural variants) has been performed by a collaborative group headed by the Wellcome Trust Centre for Human Genetics.The following data are available:* A clean set of QC’ed genotype calls* Confidence values that a genotype call is correct* Intensity data to generate cluster plots* Extensive QC information regarding SNPs and samples including SNP metrics, batch effects, population structure and relatedness* Imputed dataFor further information, please refer to the UK Biobank website
