The largest genetic database of Native Americans has been published, containing over a million previously unpublished variants
An international team led by the Institute of Evolutionary Biology (IBE), a joint center of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and Pompeu Fabra University (UPF), has compiled the largest genetic database of Native American populations to date, including 128 new complete genomes. The research identified more than one million genetic variants not previously observed in other populations, revealing a unique genetic diversity. According to the authors, who published their work in Nature, “these results demonstrate the need to better represent these populations in genomics.”
