The document discusses the Genome in a Bottle Consortium's efforts to establish benchmark variant calls for several human genomes to help evaluate the accuracy of sequencing technologies and bioinformatics pipelines. The Consortium has generated extensive sequencing and reference data for several samples, including NA12878 and trios from the Personal Genome Project. Multiple groups are analyzing this data to generate integrated calls for SNPs, indels, structural variants, and long-range phasing. The goal is to provide a high-accuracy set of variant calls across variant types to help validation of sequencing analyses.
