Importance of human demographic history knowledge in genetic studies involving multi-ethnic cohorts

2018-10-31

Abstract excerpt

Paucity of data from African populations due to under-representation in human genetic studies has impeded detailed understanding of the heritable human genome variation. This is despite the fact that Africa has sizeable genetic, cultural and linguistic diversity. There are renewed efforts to understand health problems relevant to African populations using more comprehensive datasets, and by improving expertise in...
