The findings, published in November, provide data from 1092 genomes of apparently healthy individuals from 14 populations in Europe, east Asia, sub-Saharan Africa, and the Americas (The 1000 Genomes Project Consortium. Nature. 2012;491[7422]:56-65). The findings provide the most comprehensive catalog of human genetic variation to date—capturing an estimated 95% of human genetic variation—and provide comparative information for researchers studying the role of genetics in disease and clinicians using genomic technology to find a genetic cause for a medical condition.
