The lack of representation of diverse ancestral backgrounds in genomic research is well-
known, and the resultant scientific and ethical limitations are becoming increasingly …

Conducting genomic research in diverse populations has led to numerous advances in our
understanding of human history, biology, and health disparities, in addition to discoveries of …

To characterize the extent and impact of ancestry-related biases in precision genomic
medicine, we use 642 whole-genome sequences from the Consortium on Asthma among …

How race, ethnicity, and ancestry are used in genomic research has wide-ranging
implications for how research is translated into clinical care and incorporated into public …

The African continent is regarded as the cradle of modern humans and African genomes
contain more genetic variation than those from any other continent, yet only a fraction of the …

A deeper appreciation of the complex architecture of African genomes is critical to the global
effort to understand human history, biology and differential distribution of disease by …

Studies of human genetics, particularly genome-wide association studies (GWAS), have
concentrated heavily on European populations, with individuals of African ancestry rarely …

The deep evolutionary history of African populations, since the emergence of modern
humans more than 300,000 years ago, has resulted in high genetic diversity and …

One goal of genomic medicine is to uncover an individual's genetic risk for disease, which
generally requires data connecting genotype to phenotype, as done in genome-wide …

Abstract The African Diaspora in the Western Hemisphere represents one of the largest
forced migrations in history and had a profound impact on genetic diversity in modern …
