Since the early days of the genome era, the scientific community has relied on a single
'reference'genome for each species, which is used as the basis for a wide range of genetic …

Structural and quantitative chromosomal rearrangements, collectively referred to as
structural variation (SV), contribute to a large extent to the genetic diversity of the human …

The levels of the thousands of metabolites in the human plasma metabolome are strongly
influenced by an individual's genetics and the composition of their diet and gut microbiome …

Transcript alterations often result from somatic changes in cancer genomes. Various forms of
RNA alterations have been described in cancer, including overexpression, altered splicing …

Ovarian cancer (OC) is a heterogeneous disease usually diagnosed at a late stage.

The underrepresentation of non-Europeans in human genetic studies so far has limited the
diversity of individuals in genomic datasets and led to reduced medical relevance for a large …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) affects more than 33 million individuals worldwide and has a complex
heritability. We conducted the largest meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies …
