| description | Genomic database: Genetic variation patterns in Japan A comprehensive database of genome sequence differences found in Japanese individuals is helping researchers uncover the genetic basis of diseases occurring in the Japanese population. Nobutaka Mitsuhashi from the Database Center for Life Science in Chiba, Japan, and colleagues describe the development of TogoVar, a web-based resource that includes genetic data from more than 200,000 Japanese individuals, plus many others of non-Japanese ancestry for comparison. From the millions of tracked DNA differences, many associated with disease, researchers can search for genetic variants of interest and find information on variant frequency, clinical importance, genomic context, related publications, and more. First established in 2018, TogoVar ( https://togovar.org ) now provides a one-stop shop for researchers looking to interpret genomic variation data in Japanese populations. |
