Research title

Construction of Japanese Whole-Genome database

Research overview

Aims
Tohoku University Tohoku Medical Megabank Organization (ToMMo) and Iwate Tohoku Medical Megabank Organization (IMM) were founded to establish an advanced medical system to foster the reconstruction from the Great East Japan Earthquake. These organizations are developing a biobank that includes medical and genome information for supporting health and welfare in the Tohoku area. In the first stage, the part of our mission was to sequence the 4,000 individuals to construct Japanese whole-genome reference panel.
Methods
Whole genome sequencing
Participants/materials
4,566 Japanese general residents
