Do You Like My New Genes?
Did you know that the African continent houses the most genetically diverse human DNA groups compared to all other world populations combined. At present, about 90% of genomic data used for medical research is based on Caucasian DNA from the Western World, while African genomic data only accounts for less than 3%. Nigerian-based company 54Gene aims to close this data gap, increase access to highly curated African genomic data, and promote African inclusion in precision medicine. #AfricaMonth
