Diversity in immunogenomics: the value and the challenge

K. Peng et al. ,Nature Methods (6):588-591. doi: 10.1038 (2021)

Abstract

Immunogenomics studies have been largely limited to individuals of European ancestry, restricting the ability to identify variation in human adaptive immune responses across populations. Inclusion of a greater diversity of individuals in immunogenomics studies will substantially enhance our understanding of human immunology.
