The resequencing imperative (original) (raw)

Nature Genetics volume 39, pages 439–440 (2007)Cite this article

The possibility of deep population resequencing of genes has generated excitement over its potentially promising role in understanding complex human traits. A new study has now demonstrated the utility of this approach, reporting the resequencing of a lipid metabolism gene in a large multiethnic population and definitively showing that coding variants in the gene are associated with plasma triglyceride levels.
