The National Institutes of Health (NIH)’s All of Us Research Program has released data on nearly a quarter million whole genome sequences for broad research use. That means that to date, the group has information from more than 413,450 participants. In addition to the whole genome sequences, this includes data from surveys, electronic health records, physical measurements, and Fitbit devices.
The researchers report that about 45 percent of the data was donated by people who self-identify with a racial or ethnic group that has been historically underrepresented in medical research.
