UW Medicine genome experts made significant scientific contributions to a National Institutes of Health Human Genome Research Institute reference collection that better represents the genetic diversity of the world’s populations. Called the Human Pangenome Reference Consortium, the multi-institutional effort expands and updates earlier work that started as the Human Genome Project. In addition to collaborating with many others on the overall pangenome, scientists in the Department of Genome Sciences at the University School of Medicine also made specific contributions in uncovering new variants and learning how these occurred through genes copying to new locations. In addition, they sought out remaining gaps in human genome reference assemblies and ways to obtain the missing information. Much of their work was done with Evan Eichler, a noted expert on the evolution of the human genome, and on identifying and sequencing normal and disease-causing structural variations, including ....

Getty Images The new reference dataset includes 64 assembled genomes representing 25 different human populations from across the globe. Exactly 20 years after the successful completion of the Human Genome Project, an international group of researchers, the Human Genome Structural Variation Consortium, has now sequenced 64 human genomes at high resolution. This reference data includes individuals from all over the world to better capture the genetic diversity of the human species. Among other applications, the work enables population-specific studies on genetic predispositions to human diseases as well as the discovery of more complex forms of genetic variation, as the 65 authors report in the Feb. 26 issue of the scientific journal Science. ....
