Research Domains

  • The research of this community will seek to identify novel variant-trait associations and identify where such genotypic information can be leveraged for clinical application; such as the provision of polygenic risk scores and development of screening and treatment strategies. Particular attention will be given to the analysis of ancestries underrepresented in genomic research. This community will implement and improve tools for such analyses.
