To read the full abstract: Science 2020; 367(6484):eaay5012.These authors sequenced 929 whole-genome sequences from 54 geographically, linguistically, and culturally diverse human populations, as part of the Human Genome Diversity Project, a panel of global populations. The data represent African, Oceanian, and American-Indian populations. They identified 67.3 million single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), 8.8 million small insertions or deleti...
