Equitable immunogenomics.
Most large-scale immunogenomic studies exploring the association between genes and disease were conducted with a bias toward individuals of European ancestry. University of Louisville researchers are leading a call to actively diversify the genetic resources used in their work to advance genomic medicine more equitably.
Their vision is outlined in Nature Methods: http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41592-021-01169-5

Diversity in immunogenomics: the value and the challenge
Nature Methods - Immunogenomics studies have been largely limited to individuals of European ancestry, restricting the ability to identify variation in human adaptive immune responses across...
