Completed in 2003, the Human Genome Project gave us the first sequence of the human genome, albeit based on DNA from a small handful of people. Building upon its success, the 1000 Genomes Project was conceived in 2007. The project began with the ambitious aim of sequencing 1,000 human genomes and exceeded it, publishing results gleaned from over 2,500 individuals of varying ancestries in 2015.
Together, these projects have contributed to much of our knowledge about the genetics that make us unique and underlie our biology.
Now, 10 years down the road, EMBL scientists and their collaborators have revealed exciting new insights into human biology through deeper analysis of samples from this vast resource, using methods and technologies not available...
