Article: Whole-genome sequencing of 490,640 UK Biobank participants

Authors: The UK Biobank WGS Consortium

The UK Biobank has completed WGS of 490,640 participants, creating one of the largest and most comprehensive genomic resources to date.

The dataset captures genetic variation across diverse ancestries, revealing novel disease associations and enabling more accurate detection of structural and exonic variants.

This open resource will accelerate discoveries in disease biology, diagnostics, therapeutics, and precision medicine.
