Abstract excerpt
Whole-genome sequence information currently available for large-scale sequencing studies is biased toward European descent populations. Such bias causes difficulties in identifying disease-associated genetic variations in non-European populations, including the Japanese. Here, to comprehensively identify genetic variants, we sequenced 3135 individuals representing the genetic diversity of the Japanese population....
