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 גנטיקה on health and disease.
Researchers have identified over 275 million new גנטי גרסאות from data shared by about 250,000 participants of כל אחד מאיתנו Research Programme of National Institute of Health (NIH) of the USA. These גרסאות were previously unreported and unexplored. Of the 275 million newly identified גרסאות, 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 גנטי background. This addresses a major diversity related limitation of other large genomic studies which had over 90% participants with European גנטי שושלת.
DELETE THIS גנומי הנתונים זמינים לחוקרים הרשומים ב- ספסל עבודה של חוקר. חוקרים רבים משתמשים במערך הנתונים.
Study of these hitherto unexplored גנטי גרסאות should contribute to understanding influences of גנטיקה on health and disease especially in under-studied communities with non-European ancestry.
