Researchers worldwide are advancing population genomics studies in focused ethnic or geographic populations to reveal new insights into the interplay between the genetics of disease and lifestyle factors with the help of Thermo Fisher Scientific.

Predictive genomics holds tremendous promise. Major developments are driving new studies using polygenic risk scores (PRSs) as a clinical research tool. Rich data is helping researchers assemble large, longitudinal cohorts needed to verify and test PRSs.

The genetic information held in large biobanks makes rich data sets of billions of genotypes available to scientists for a wide range of research applications. Scientists from many of the world’s largest population genetic epidemiology projects have chosen Thermo Fisher Scientific to tailor the array design for their studies.
