Anne McLaren 🧬 Human gene variation databases are foundational to modern genomics, transforming raw sequencing data into actionable biological and clinical insight. As genomic technologies scale, these resources enable consistent interpretation of genetic diversity across populations, diseases, and evolutionary contexts. 🔹 At the core is dbSNP, a comprehensive catalogue of single nucleotide polymorphisms and small insertions/deletions curated by NCBI. By assigning standardized rsIDs, dbSNP ensures global consistency in variant reporting, supporting reproducibility across studies in population and disease genetics. 🔹 The 1000 Genomes Project provides a global reference of human genetic variation across diverse ancestries. It remains essential for understanding population st...
