The Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD)

The Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD) is a large collection of genetic data from hundreds of thousands of people worldwide. It compiles information about the small differences in DNA sequences, helping researchers understand what variations are common or rare in different populations. This resource aids in identifying genetic factors related to diseases, improving diagnosis, and advancing personalized medicine. By providing a comprehensive reference of human genetic diversity, gnomAD supports scientists and doctors in distinguishing normal variation from potential health-related mutations.
