    29.6: Current Research

    HapMap project

    The International Project aims to catalog the genomes of humans from various countries and regions and find similarities and di↵erences to help researchers find genes that will benefit the advance in disease treatment and administration of health related technologies.

    genomes project

    The 1000 Genomes Project is an international consortium of researchers aiming to establish a detailed catalogue of human genetic variation. Its aim was to sequence the genomes of more than a thousand anonymous participants from a number of di↵erent ethnic groups. In October 2012, the sequencing of 1092 genomes was announced in a Nature paper. It is hoped that the data collected by this project will help scientists gain more insight into human evolution, natural selection and rare disease-causing variants.
