Efforts such as the HapMap Project and 1,000 Genomes Project have
characterized human genetic variation at an unprecedented scale.
Most of that is by design: the 1,000 Genomes Project generated and made available sequence data for more than 1,000 individuals in an effort to further
characterize human genetic variation.
Not exact matches
As our understanding of the noncoding portion of the genome improves, it will become even more apparent that whole - genome sequencing (and not exome sequencing) will be required to
characterize the full extent of phenotypically - relevant
genetic variation in
humans.
