An Indigenous Australian reference genome: Indigenous inclusion in the benefits of genomic medicine

该项目将利用先进的基因组测序技术和数据分析，在国家土著基因组学中心(NCIG)内建立澳大利亚土著参考基因组(NCIGrg)，并评估其研究和临床用途。NCIGrg将成为未来基因组研究及其在土著社区临床应用的基石。它将巩固NCIG的承诺，确保土著澳大利亚人包括在基因组医学的好处中。

This project will establish an Indigenous Australian reference genome (the NCIGrg) within the National Centre for Indigenous Genomics (NCIG) using advanced genome sequencing technologies and data analytics and evaluate its research and clinical utility. The NCIGrg will be cornerstone of future genomic research and its clinical application in Indigenous communities. It will underpin NCIG’s commitment to ensuring that Indigenous Australians are included in the benefits of genomic medicine.
