Mapping Genetic Variation with 1000 genomes
October 31, 2012, An Ed Yong milestone:
The 1000 Genomes Project reveals the most comprehensive catalog to date of variation in the human genome.
An international consortium of scientists known as the 1000 Genomes Project has published a long-awaited map of variation in the human genome, cataloging the subtle differences that shape our bodies and influence our risk of disease. The results, published today (31 October) in Nature, were derived from the genome sequences of 1,092 volunteers hailing from 14 populations in Europe, East Asia, Africa, and the Americas. They should help scientists more efficiently hunt for the genetic causes of disease, by comparing mutations in a patient’s genome against those seen in his own country or ethnic group…
