  • A study reports whole-genome sequences for 490,640 participants from the UK Biobank and combines these data with phenotypic data to provide new insights into the relationship between human variation and sequence variation.

  • The effect of sequence variants on phenotypes may depend on parental origin. Here, a method is developed that takes parental origin — the impact of which, to date, has largely been ignored — into account in genome-wide association studies. For 38,167 Icelanders genotyped, the parental origin of most alleles is determined; furthermore, a number of variants are found that show associations specific to parental origin, including three with type 2 diabetes.

  • To measure selection on variants, whole-genome sequencing of approximately 150,000 individuals from the UK Biobank is used to rank sequence variants by their level of depletion.
