Qatar Genome: Insights on Genomics from the Middle East

2021-09-23

Abstract excerpt

Despite recent biomedical breakthroughs and large genomic studies growing momentum, the Middle Eastern population, home to over 400 million people, is under-represented in the human genome variation databases. Here we describe insights from phase 1 of the Qatar Genome Program which whole genome sequenced 6,045 individuals from Qatar. We identified more than 88 million variants of which 24 million are novel and 23...
