Does the 1000 Genomes Project apply to all of a human's DNA which includes all their coding and non-coding DNA or not?

https://www.nature.com/articles/nature15393

The first paragraph in its abstract states:

>"The 1000 Genomes Project set out to provide a comprehensive description of common human genetic variation by applying whole-genome sequencing to a diverse set of individuals from multiple populations."

But does "whole-genome sequencing" refer to all coding and non-coding DNA of an individual or not?

It refers to all DNA, not just coding sequences.

Sequencing all the coding sequences is called whole exome sequencing.
