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
