Enrichment of low-frequency functional variants revealed by whole-genome sequencing of multiple isolated European populations
Isolated populations often have special genetic compositions that can be leveraged for genetic association studies. Here, Xue and colleagues generate and analyse 3,059 low-depth whole-genome sequences from eight European isolated populations and two matched general populations.
