Due to system maintenance, the application system, application review by the Data Access Committee will be unavailable during the following period.
Schedule: October 5th (Mon), 2026, 9:00 - October 7th (Wed), 2026, 15:00 (JST)
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding.

We are currently receiving a large number of applications for data submission, and the review process is taking longer than usual.We sincerely apologize for the delay and kindly ask for your understanding. When submitting an application, we would greatly appreciate it if you could allow sufficient time for the processing.

Following a change to our organizational structure effective April 1, 2026, this division has been renamed from the "Database Center for Life Science, Joint Support-Center for Data Science Research" to the "Database Division for Life Science (DBCLS), BioData Science Initiative (BSI), National Institute of Genetics (NIG)". Where the former name still appears in the guidelines, please read it as the new name.

Research title

GenomeAsia 100K Project: Human DNA samples collecting and whole genome sequencing of Asian populations

Research overview

Aims
The number of basal divergences, admixture, and the degrees of isolation among Indigenous North Eurasian and Native South American populations remain debated, with most insights derived from genome-wide genotyping data. This study aims to improve our understanding of the ancient dynamics and shaping of the contemporary populations of North Eurasia and the Americas. Using large-scale whole-genome sequencing of 1,537 individuals across 139 ethnic groups from these regions, we identify population structures, clarify the prehistoric migrations and the role of past environments in the diversification of human populations.
Methods
Whole genome sequencing
Participants/materials
1,323 healthy individuals
