Abstract

For the past few years, researchers in the Human Pangenome Reference Consortium (HPRC) have been working to catalog almost all human genomic diversity. Frazer and Schork preview an article recently published in Nature, "A draft human pangenome reference,"¹ which represents the initial release of 47 fully phased diploid assemblies of genomes of individuals with diverse ancestries.
