Social determinants of health show us that things outside of our control impact our health. All of Us asks about #SDOH to help researchers understand how these factors affect our health. You can #JoinAllofUs to learn more at JoinAllofUs.org.

2022 #NobelPrize laureate Svante Pääbo found that gene transfer had occurred from these now extinct hominins to Homo sapiens. This ancient flow of genes to present-day humans has physiological relevance today, for example affecting how our immune system reacts to infections.

Even though 99.9% of our sequences are the same, there are slight differences in each person’s genome. These differences are called genomic variants. Out of the 6 billion letters in our genomes, each of us has around 4 to 5 million genomic variants!

Why is DNA sequence information important? It helps scientists investigate the functions of genes! Researchers use genome sequencing to search for genomic variations that may play a role in the development or progression of a disease. That is some cool detective work!
