With a long-read sequencing and de novo genome assembly strategy, investigators found structural variants and hotspots that have been missed in the past.
The polygenic risk test analyzes an individual's genes for more than 100,000 SNPs associated with the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease.
Investigators detected more than 100 risk loci for primary open-angle glaucoma, with mostly similar effects in people with European, Asian, or African ancestry.
The researchers found new molecular pathways of resistance, including hypoxia tolerance, protein folding, and mitochondria respiration.
With the help of ancient and modern DNA samples, the researchers found some overlap between the spread of genetic ancestry and languages in East Asia.
