Africa: continent of genome contrasts with implications for biomedical research and health.

Abstract excerpt

Genome-wide approaches have been extensively applied to search for genetic associations to complex traits in Europeans, but rarely in Africans. This is largely attributed to lower levels of funding, poor infrastructure and public health systems, and to the small pool of trained...
