Scientists are building a much more diverse reference that they call a “pangenome," which so far includes the genetic material of 47 people from various places.
For two decades, scientists have been comparing every person s full set of DNA they study to a template that relies mostly on genetic material from one man affectionately known as "the guy from Buffalo."
Scientists recently released a new accounting of the human genome. The research effort included information from people from around the world and could help ongoing efforts to identify genetic causes of diseases.
