🎉 Da Massiv Human Pangenome Upgrade 🧬🌏
Afta mo den 20 years since da scientists wen first release one draft sequence of da human genome, da book of life wen get one long-awaited upgrade. 👨🔬📘
Dis new, mo accurate an’ inclusive version of our genetic code wen get published on Wednesday. Dis big step goin’ lead to bettah undastanding of human biology an’ personalized medicine fo’ peeps from all kine racial an’ ethnic backgrounds. 🌈🧪
Da olda reference wen mostly based on da DNA of one mixed-race guy from Buffalo, wit input from some oddah peeps, mainly of European descent. But dis new “pangenome” get near-complete genetic sequences from 47 guys an’ wahines from all ova da place, like African Americans, Caribbean Islanders, East Asians, West Africans, an’ South Americans. 🌍🧬
Dis updated genome map goin’ help scientists an’ doctors find genetic variations dat relate to disease an’ make treatments fo’ everybody, no mattah race, ethnicity, or ancestry. 🚑🌟
Da pangenome use da most advanc’d DNA sequencing technology fo’ put togetha all 47 unique genomes into one single resource, giving da clearest picture of da code dat make our cells work. Da old reference get plenty holes, but now get almost 120 million DNA lettas added to da three-billion-letter-long code. 🔬💥
No mo’ da idea of one single strand of DNA dat stretch six feet long. Da updated reference get all kine paths an’ side trails fo’ scientists fo’ explore all da genetic diversity in people all ova da world. 🌐🔎
Da pangenome goin’ revolutionize da field of genomic medicine, helping us undastand ourselves as one species bettah den eva befo’. 🚀🧠
Da goal of da project architects is fo’ include at least 350 high-quality genomes dat represent da majority of human diversity all ova da globe. 🌏🤝
Da pangenome project peeps workin’ wit Indigenous groups fo’ come up wit formal policies ’bout data ownership. Dey tryin’ fo’ be mo’ respectful an’ mindful of da needs an’ preferences of dese groups compared to befo’. 🤗📜
Some Indigenous advocates like da idea of training da next generation of Indigenous scientists fo’ have mo’ control ova da genomic data. Fo’ dem, it’s time fo’ share da powa an’ control an’ give dat back to da communities demselves. 💪🏽🌱

🎉 Massive Human Pangenome Upgrade 🧬🌍
More than 20 years after scientists first released a draft sequence of the human genome, the book of life has received a long-awaited upgrade. 👩🔬📘
This new, more accurate, and inclusive version of our genetic code was published on Wednesday, marking a significant step towards a better understanding of human biology and personalized medicine for people of all racial and ethnic backgrounds. 🌈🧪
The previous reference was mostly based on the DNA of one mixed-race man from Buffalo, with input from a few other individuals, mainly of European descent. But this new “pangenome” includes near-complete genetic sequences from 47 men and women of diverse origins, such as African Americans, Caribbean Islanders, East Asians, West Africans, and South Americans. 🌍🧬
This updated genome map will help scientists and doctors identify genetic variations associated with diseases and develop treatments for everyone, regardless of their race, ethnicity, or ancestry. 🚑✨
The pangenome uses the most advanced DNA sequencing technology to combine all 47 unique genomes into a single resource, providing the clearest picture yet of the code that powers our cells. The previous reference had many gaps, but now nearly 120 million DNA letters have been added to the three-billion-letter-long code. 🔬💥
Gone is the idea of a single strand of DNA that stretches six feet long. The updated reference includes various paths and side trails for scientists to explore the full range of genetic diversity found in people all over the world. 🌐🔎
The pangenome will revolutionize the field of genomic medicine, helping us understand ourselves as a species better than ever before. 🚀🧠
The project’s architects aim to include at least 350 high-quality genomes that represent the majority of human diversity worldwide. 🌏🤝
The pangenome project is working with Indigenous groups to develop formal policies regarding data ownership. They are trying to be more respectful and mindful of the needs and preferences of these groups compared to previous efforts. 🤗📜
Some Indigenous advocates support the idea of training the next generation of Indigenous scientists to have more control over the genomic data. For them, it’s time to share power and control and give it back to the communities themselves. 💪🌱
