Researchers have discovered 275 million new genetic variants from data shared by 250,000 participants of All of us Research Programme of NIH. This vast unexplored data will help better understand influence of genetika on health and disease.
Researchers have identified over 275 million new genetiko variant from data shared by about 250,000 participants of Lahat ng sa amin Research Programme of National Institute of Health (NIH) of the USA. These variant were previously unreported and unexplored. Of the 275 million newly identified variant, nearly 4 million are in areas that may be associated with the disease risks.
Interestingly, nearly half of the genomic data are from participants with non-European genetiko background. This addresses a major diversity related limitation of other large genomic studies which had over 90% participants with European genetiko ninuno.
Ang bagong Genomic data ay ginawang magagamit sa mga rehistradong mananaliksik sa Workbench ng Mananaliksik. Maraming mananaliksik ang gumagamit ng dataset.
Study of these hitherto unexplored genetiko variant should contribute to understanding influences of genetika on health and disease especially in under-studied communities with non-European ancestry.
