Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Whole-genome sequence information currently available for large-scale sequencing studies is biased toward European descent populations. Such bias causes difficulties in identifying disease-associated genetic variations in non-European populations, including the Japanese. Here, to comprehensively identify genetic variants, we sequenced 3135 individuals representing the genetic diversity of the Japanese population. Of the 44,757,785 identified variants, 31.0% exhibiting a minor allele frequency of <1% were novel. Using these variants, we constructed a reference haplotype and graph-structured reference sequence to facilitate accurate imputation and variant characterization. Our findings suggest that integrating genetic variations from ethnically diverse populations into the prevailing catalogs is essential to achieve precision medicine for all populations.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
