◆このプロジェクトには、多様な背景を持つ47人のゲノム配列が含まれており、研究者は2024年半ばまでに350人のゲノムを配列することを目標としています。このようにサンプルサイズを大きくすることで、世界のヒト集団の多様性をより包括的に理解することができるようになります。パンゲノムのリファレンスは、ヒトの遺伝学、健康、病気の研究に役立つだろう。DNA配列決定技術の進歩により、現在の参照ゲノム配列のギャップが埋まり、より完全な配列となりました。
◆このプロジェクトには、ワシントン大学、カリフォルニア大学サンタクルーズ校、ハーバード大学医学部、イェール大学、ハインリッヒ・ハイネ大学、テネシー大学など、さまざまな機関の研究者が参加しています。

Abstract
Here the Human Pangenome Reference Consortium presents a first draft of the human pangenome reference. The pangenome contains 47 phased, diploid assemblies from a cohort of genetically diverse individuals1. These assemblies cover more than 99% of the expected sequence in each genome and are more than 99% accurate at the structural and base pair levels. Based on alignments of the assemblies, we generate a draft pangenome that captures known variants and haplotypes and reveals new alleles at structurally complex loci. We also add 119 million base pairs of euchromatic polymorphic sequences and 1,115 gene duplications relative to the existing reference GRCh38. Roughly 90 million of the additional base pairs are derived from structural variation. Using our draft pangenome to analyse short-read data reduced small variant discovery errors by 34% and increased the number of structural variants detected per haplotype by 104% compared with GRCh38-based workflows, which enabled the typing of the vast majority of structural variant alleles per sample.
