Researchers have discovered 275 million new genetic variants from data shared by 250,000 participants of All of us Research Programme of NIH. This vast unexplored data will help better understand influence of علم الوراثة on health and disease.
Researchers have identified over 275 million new وراثية المتغيرات from data shared by about 250,000 participants of كل واحد منا Research Programme of National Institute of Health (NIH) of the USA. These المتغيرات were previously unreported and unexplored. Of the 275 million newly identified المتغيرات, nearly 4 million are in areas that may be associated with the disease risks.
Interestingly, nearly half of the genomic data are from participants with non-European وراثية background. This addresses a major diversity related limitation of other large genomic studies which had over 90% participants with European وراثية أصل.
الجديد الجينومية البيانات متاحة للباحثين المسجلين في طاولة عمل الباحث. يستخدم العديد من الباحثين مجموعة البيانات.
Study of these hitherto unexplored وراثية المتغيرات should contribute to understanding influences of علم الوراثة on health and disease especially in under-studied communities with non-European ancestry.
