Scientists publish new analysis of most diverse genetic data set
Researchers at the University of Maryland School of Medicine (UMSOM) and their colleagues published a new analysis today in the journal
Nature from genetic sequencing data of more than 53,000 individuals, primarily from minority populations.
The early analysis, part of a large-scale program funded by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, examines one of the largest and most diverse data sets of high-quality whole genome sequencing, which makes up a person s DNA. It provides new genetic insights into heart, lung, blood and sleep disorders and how these conditions impact people with diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds, who are often underrepresented in genetic studies.
