OneKGPd: Individual Level Queries over the 1000 Genomes Project
Scope
This skill queries the 1000 Genomes Project dataset — the extended high coverage cohort
of 3,202 whole genome sequenced individuals, on the GRCh38 assembly. All results
are drawn from this cohort, and sample names returned by the skill (for example
HG00096 or NA21130 ) identify its participants.
Queries resolve against the cohort's per individual genotype data. This supports
two complementary classes of question: selecting variants carried within a
region (across the whole cohort or within a specified set of individuals), and
selecting the individuals who carry variants matching given criteria.
Variant selection can be filtered by allele frequency, predicted consequence,
clinical significance, AlphaMissense classification, and the other annotation
axes listed below. Relatedness between two named individuals is also available.
The genotype state in which a variant is carried — heterozygous or homozygous —
is a criterion that queries may specify; results are returned as variants or as
sample names, not as raw genotypes.
When to Use
Use this skill when you need to:
Find variants carried in a region or set of regions matching some criteria
across the whole cohort ( select variants ).
Find variants carried in a region or set of regions matching some criteria
in specific set of individuals ( select variants in samples ).
Find which 1000 Genomes individuals carry variants matching some criteria
in a region or set of regions ( select samples ).
Count how many individuals carry specific variants ( count samples ).
Restrict any variant query to heterozygous only or homozygous only
carriage, or query both together (default).
Identify which individuals are homozygous reference at a single position
( select samples hom ref ).
Determine the relatedness between two named 1000 Genomes individuals —
both the degree (twin / 1st / 2nd / 3rd / unrelated) and the KING kinship
coefficient ( kinship ).
Get dataset totals — sample count, sex split, variant count, assembly
( dataset info ).
Variant selection can be specified by KGP allele frequency, gnomAD 4.1 exome and
gnomAD 4.1 genome allele frequency, AlphaMissense Score and AlphaMissense Class,
ClinVar significance (202502), and VEP annotations (impact, biotype, feature type,
variant class, consequences).
Do NOT use this skill for:
Resolving a gene symbol, rsID, or transcript to coordinates, or fetching
reference sequence. Resolve coordinates first (see Coordinate Provenance
below), then query this skill with the resolved GRCh38 region.
Any cohort other than the 1000 Genomes Project — this skill serves only that
dataset.
Prerequisites
1. uv : This skill's script is run with uv run , which reads the script's
inline dependency metadata and provisions an ephemeral environment. Ensure
uv is installed and on PATH (https://docs.astral.sh/uv/).
2. Data use terms : The 1000 Genomes Project data is open; users should be
aware of the 1000 Genomes Project / IGSR data use terms
(https://www.internationalgenome.org/data).
3. Access constraints : There is no API key, no .env file, and no
rate limit token to configure.
4. No credentials required
Core Rules
Use the Wrappers : ALWAYS execute the provided helper scripts rather than
constructing your own client calls or network requests. Use
scripts/onekgpd api.py for variant/sample/kinship queries (it handles the
connection, streaming, pagination, and JSON serialization), and
scripts/onekgpd meta.py for sample/population metadata (offline, see
[Sample & population metadata]( sample population metadata offline)).
Coordinates MUST be resolved against an authoritative source first — see
[Coordinate Provenance]( coordinate provenance mandatory first step). This
is mandatory, not advisory.
Count before you select : every variant and sample selection has a paired
counting command. Call the count command FIRST to size the result set, then
select only if the count is manageable.
Zygosity defaults to both : selection and counting commands include both
heterozygous and homozygous carriage by default. Narrow with het only
or hom only when the question is specifically about one state. (You do
not need to pass anything to get both.)
Output : scripts write full JSON to a file ( output , default under
/tmp/ ) and print a concise summary to stdout. Do not read large JSON files
into context — use jq or a small disposable uv run python snippet to
extract fields.
Coordinate Provenance (MANDATORY FIRST STEP)
Before any region based query, resolve the gene or feature to GRCh38
coordinates against an authoritative source (for example Ensembl), and query
with those resolved coordinates. The assembly must be explicit, and a gene range
must be resolved to precise positions before use. This is structural, not
advisory: there is no source side guardrail that would catch a misplaced region,
so an unverified coordinate produces results for an unintended location with no
error.
[!CAUTION]
The dataset is GRCh38. A GRCh37 coordinate, or any region that does not
correctly correspond to the intended feature on GRCh38, will return
results for an unintended location without raising an error. Verify the
assembly and the resolved coordinates before querying.
Command Selection Guide
Match the question to the command. Counting commands are cheap and should
precede their selection counterpart.
Which individuals carry matching variants in a region → count samples
then select samples
Which variants are carried in a region, cohort wide → count variants
then select variants
Which variants are carried in a region, within a named set of individuals →
count variants in samples then select variants in samples
Who is homozygous reference at a single position → count samples hom ref
then select samples hom ref
Relatedness (degree + coefficient) between two named individuals →
kinship

Annotation filters (shared across variant and sample selection/counting)
All variant and sample selection commands ( count variants ,
select variants , their in samples forms, count samples , select samples )
accept the same annotation filters. Different filter fields are combined with
AND ; multiple values within one field are combined with OR . Enum values
are case insensitive (e.g. missense variant or MISSENSE VARIANT ).
These are selection criteria applied on the server. The fields returned on a
selected variant are listed under
[Variant returning commands]( variant returning commands); a criterion used for
filtering is not necessarily echoed back on the returned variant.
af lt / af gt : 1000 Genomes dataset allele frequency bounds

alpha missense score lt / alpha missense score gt : AlphaMissense score bounds
biallelic only / multiallelic only
exclude males / exclude females
min len bp / max len bp : alternate allele length bounds (bp)
[!NOTE]
alpha missense class and alpha missense score are mutually exclusive
(the engine ignores the class when a score bound is set). biallelic only
and multiallelic only are mutually exclusive. exclude males and
exclude females are mutually exclusive. Setting a gt bound greater than
or equal to its matching lt bound defines an empty range and will return
nothing.
[!NOTE]
Allele frequency fields use 0.0 to mean "not present in that source." So
gnomad exomes af gt 0 selects variants that are in gnomAD exomes; a
returned gnomad exomes af of 0.0 means the variant is absent from gnomAD
exomes. The same convention for gnomAD genomes AF.
Conversely, gnomad exomes af lt / gnomad genomes af lt bounds include
unannotated variants: "AF < X in gnomAD" includes variants with gnomAD AF = 0,
i.e. unannotated; pair it with gnomad af gt 0 to require presence in gnomAD.
[!NOTE]
am score of 0.0 means not scored or not annotated by AlphaMissense it does not mean benign .
A real AlphaMissense score is always greater than 0.
Quick Start
Commands
Each command writes full JSON to a file ( output PATH , default a temp file)
and prints a concise stdout summary. All region/sample commands share: the
region input ( chrom / start / end with optional ref / alt , or one
or more repeated region CHR:START END ), the zygosity flags
( het only / hom only , default both), and the annotation filters above.
The full per flag tables live in
[references/onekgpd commands.md](references/onekgpd commands.md).
Variant returning commands
select return matching variants; count return an integer count.
count variants — count variants in a region, cohort wide.
select variants — select variants in a region, cohort wide. Use limit N
(hard cap, default 200) or page size N (retrieve the full set in
pages); the two are mutually exclusive. The summary flags truncated when
the cap is reached.
count variants in samples — as count variants , restricted to
samples NAME1,NAME2,... (required).
select variants in samples — as select variants , restricted to
samples NAME1,NAME2,... (required).
Each returned variant carries these 22 keys: chr , start , end , ref ,
alt , af , ac , an , hom samples , het samples , mis samples ,
hom samples fx , het samples fx , mis samples fx , hom samples mxy ,
het samples mxy , mis samples mxy , gnomad exomes af , gnomad genomes af ,
am score , amino acids , biallelic .
ClinVar significance and VEP consequence are filter criteria only and are not
returned. Full schema:
[references/onekgpd commands.md](references/onekgpd commands.md).
Sample returning commands
count samples — count individuals carrying a matching variant in a region.
select samples — list the names of individuals carrying a matching variant.
Supports skip N and limit N . Returns names only; to see which
variants qualified an individual, feed the names into
select variants in samples .
Homozygous reference commands
Single position via chrom + position (not a region).
count samples hom ref — count individuals with a 0/0 call at the position.
The count is a sentinel: 1 = no variant exists at that position at all;
0 = a variant exists but no individual is homozygous reference; 0 = the
number of homozygous reference individuals. The summary states which case.
select samples hom ref — list the individuals with a 0/0 call at the position.
Relatedness command
kinship sample1 NAME sample2 NAME — relatedness between two named
individuals: the degree ( TWINS MONOZYGOTIC / FIRST DEGREE /
SECOND DEGREE / THIRD DEGREE / UNRELATED ) and the KING kinship
coefficient ( phi bwf ).
Dataset metadata command
dataset info — dataset totals: samples total (3,202), female/male split,
variants total , assembly (GRCh38), and the cohort breakdown. No region
required; doubles
