Genetic profiles of 103,106 individuals in the Taiwan Biobank provide insights into the health and history of Han Chinese

Abstract Personalized medical care focuses on prediction of disease risk and response to medications. To build the risk models, access to both large-scale genomic resources and human genetic studies is required. The Taiwan Biobank (TWB) has generated high-coverage, whole-genome sequencing data from...
