Genomics and Medicine
Starting in 2019, the American Journal of Human Genetics has published an annual feature identifying ten key advances in applying genomic information to clinical care that were reported in the previous 12 months of published literature. The Genomic Medicine Working Group has authored these reviews, based on its broader effort to identify notable accomplishments in genomic medicine on a monthly basis. From this larger set of published accomplishments, the working group has continued to select ten papers annually to be highlighted as the most significant.

About Genomics
A group of researchers, led by the Human Pangenome Reference Consortium, has released a high-quality collection of human genome reference sequences, which together comprise a human “pangenome” reference. Encompassing genome sequences from 47 people of diverse ancestries (with the goal of increasing that number to 350 by mid-2024), the human pangenome reference captures significantly more population diversity than the previous reference sequence.
