Article Synopsis
- The human reference genome (GRCh38) primarily represents individuals of European descent, lacking the genetic diversity needed for comprehensive global studies, particularly in African populations.
- Sherman et al. advocate for creating population-specific reference genomes, highlighting initiatives like the African Pan-Genome project that reveal significant genetic variations absent in GRCh38.
- The Senegalese Genome project (SEN-GENOME) aims to sequence 1,000 genomes from diverse ethnolinguistic groups in Senegal, emphasizing local governance, ethical practices, and collaboration to foster inclusive genomic research and bridge disparities.
