Long-Read Sequencing Consortium Offers PhD Students a Role in Addressing Precision Medicine Challenge

By April 5, 2024No Comments

Working under the direction of BBI’s Danny Miller, M.D., Ph.D., three graduate students, along with colleagues in the U.S. and five other nations, are working on research that promises to address one of precision medicine’s greatest challenges.

They are generating long-read sequencing data from 1000 Genomes Project samples, a diverse collection of samples that can be openly shared, and using that data to identify a broader spectrum of variation, thereby improving the understanding of normal patterns of human genetic variation.
