Diversity in human genetics studies accelerates discovery and improves health care
A new, very large genome-wide association study has uncovered many novel genetic factors associated with circulating lipid levels. The success of this study came partly from analysing many samples, but mostly from including individuals of non-European ancestry. So, why is studying genetic diversity...

The success of this study came partly from analysing many samples, but mostly from including individuals of non-European ancestry. So, why is studying genetic diversity important and how can it help to fight cardiovascular disease? |
