IA Genome LC-WGS Project
The South Asian genome: Low Coverage Whole Genome Sequencing
The genetic sequence variation of people from the Indian subcontinent who             comprise one-quarter of the world’s population, is not well described. The data provides             the first comprehensive map of genetic variation in this major human population. Our             results will accelerate the search for the genetic variants underlying susceptibility to             disorders such as type-2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease which are highly prevalent             amongst South Asians. The data contained within this project relates to the 4-5x coverage whole             genome sequencing of 168 individuals.
