Our article "Bridging Genomics' Greatest Challenge: The Diversity Gap" is now published🎉 We tackle the urgent issue of diversity in #genomics critical for addressing health inequities & ensuring precision medicine benefits everyone 🌍 Read our solutions for #equity & global #access

Bridging genomics’ greatest challenge: The diversity gap

Corpas et al. present a detailed assessment of global diversity in genomic datasets, revealing underrepresentation of non-European ancestries in GWASs, pharmacogenomics, clinical trials, and direct-to-consumer genetic testing. They highlight ongoing challenges and the need to expand efforts to address persistent biases in genomic research.
