Article Synopsis
- Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) link genetic variants to phenotypes but require large cohorts; the Human Phenotype Project overcomes this by collecting diverse clinical and biomolecular data over five years.* -
- Results from the GWAS of 8,706 individuals identified 169 clinical traits associated with 1,184 single-nucleotide polymorphisms, including new connections to traits like sleep and glucose monitoring.* -
- This research offers valuable insights into the genetic underpinnings of complex human phenotypes and provides public access to a wealth of genetic data for further studies.*
The rapid digitization of genealogical and medical records enables the assembly of extremely large pedigree records spanning millions of individuals and trillions of pairs of relatives. Such pedigrees provide the opportunity to investigate the sociological and epidemiological history of human populations in scales much larger than previously possible. Linear mixed models (LMMs) are routinely used to analyze extremely large animal and plant pedigrees for the purposes of selective breeding.

However, the collection of extended family trees is tedious and usually relies on resources with limited geographical scope and complex data usage restrictions. We collected 86 million profiles from publicly available online data shared by genealogy enthusiasts.
