A global reference for human genetic variation.

Adam Auton, +517 more
- 01 Oct 2015 - 
TL;DR: The 1000 Genomes Project set out to provide a comprehensive description of common human genetic variation by applying whole-genome sequencing to a diverse set of individuals from multiple populations, and has reconstructed the genomes of 2,504 individuals from 26 populations using a combination of low-coverage whole-generation sequencing, deep exome sequencing, and dense microarray genotyping.
Journal ArticleDOI

Class II HLA interactions modulate genetic risk for multiple sclerosis

Loukas Moutsianas, +54 more
- 07 Sep 2015 - 
TL;DR: A high-resolution map of HLA genetic risk is built and evidence for interactions involving classical HLA alleles and non-HLA risk-associated variants is found, estimating a minimal effect of polygenic epistasis in modulating major risk alleles.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic characterization of Greek population isolates reveals strong genetic drift at missense and trait-associated variants

TL;DR: This work genotype 2,296 samples from two isolated Greek populations, the Pomak villages in the North of Greece and the Mylopotamos villages in Crete, and establishes them as genetic isolates to demonstrate significant power gains in detecting medical trait associations.
