Genome sequencing of 35,024 predominantly African ancestry persons addresses gaps in genomics and healthcare

2025-11-02

Abstract excerpt

Genetic variation is crucial in human development, disease susceptibility, and drug response. Despite populations of African descent having the highest degree of genetic variation, genetic research has predominantly focused on populations of European descent, limiting potential for discovery. Recent studies of individuals with African ancestry have driven key medical advances benefiting all populations. Large scal...
