Breaking the„1000 genomes barrier“

International research team publishes a catalogue of genome variants of various population groups

NGFN-researchers within the 1000 genomes project sequenced 1092 human genomes from individuals around the world and reported the data of rare genetic variations in a detailed catalogue. The results, reported in the journal “Nature”, will help researchers to interpret the genetic changes in people with disease. It is the first study worldwide, in which more than 1000 individual genomes have been sequenced and characterized.
