'Average' human genome described for first time, with implications for disease risk
In brief
A University of Exeter team analyzed whole-genome data from nearly 1 million individuals in the UK Biobank and All of Us studies to describe the 'average' human genome for the first time. The paper is published in Genome Medicine, DOI: 10.1186/s13073-026-01792-x.
