The numbers in the table are correct as of July 28th 2015.

*

The Personal Genome Project sets a target of sequencing 100,000 personal genomes.

^

This total excludes 1,851 individuals from 1000 Genomes Project Phase 3, 3,936 from the ESP and 7,601 from TCGA since they are also included in the ExAC dataset.
