APCDR AGV Project: Whole genome sequencing of 3 African populations (curated data)


ABSTRACT: The African Genome Variation Project (AGVP) provides a resource to help design, implement and interpret genomic studies in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and worldwide. The AGVP represents dense genotypes from 1,481 and whole genome sequences (WGS) from 320 individuals across SSA. As part of the AGVP we sequenced 3 African populations; Baganda from Uganda (4x), Zulu from South Africa (4x), Gumuz, Wolayta, Oromo, Somali and Amhara from Ethiopia (8x).

Given the importance of Africa to studies of human origins and disease susceptibility, detailed characterization of African genetic diversity is needed. The African Genome Variation Project provides a resource with which to design, implement and interpret genomic studies in sub-Saharan Africa and worldwide. The African Genome Variation Project represents dense genotypes from 1,481 individuals and whole-genome sequences from 320 individuals across sub-Saharan Africa. Using this resource, we find  ...[more]
