"New Human Pangenome Reveals Greater Diversity in DNA"

Scientists have published a more accurate and inclusive edition of the human genome, called the "pangenome," which incorporates near-complete genetic sequences from 47 men and women of diverse origins, including African Americans, Caribbean Islanders, East Asians, West Africans, and South Americans. The pangenome could greatly expand the reach of personalized medicine and represents a crucial tool for scientists and clinicians hoping to identify genetic variations associated with disease. The architects of the project are continuing to add more population groups, with the goal of including at least 350 high-quality genomes that encompass the bulk of global human diversity.
