The Together for CHANGE initiative aims to build the largest African ancestry genomic database while supporting the communities from which it is recruiting.
Meharry Medical College, Pharma Firms to Build Large-Scale African Ancestry Genomics Database
Regeneron, AstraZeneca, Novo Nordisk, and Roche will each commit $20 million to the project, which plans to sequence the genomes of up to 500,000 individuals.
Mexican Population Studies Provide Ancestry, Complex Trait Clues
Teams teased out ancestry, allele frequency, imputation, and genetic risk variant profiles for populations using data from the Mexican Biobank and Mexico City Prospective Study.
Clonal Hematopoiesis Linked to Common, Rare Genetic Variants
Analyzing almost 628,400 exome sequences, researchers found common and rare variants corresponding with different forms of clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential.
Recently compiled Mexican population genetic datasets reveal historical population structures, predict complex traits, and improve bioinformatic tools.
