The National Institutes of Health has launched a precision medicine initiative called “All of Us” to gather data from 1 million participants. The data aims to address the lack of diversity in genomic datasets by including individuals from different ethnic backgrounds. This initiative has gathered new genetic information from millions of DNA variants and is revolutionizing genetic research by allowing researchers easy access to the data. The data obtained are revealing new information about the link between DNA and diseases and are redefining how genetic tests are conducted. Despite facing challenges, the program has made significant progress and is expected to continue making strides in the field of precision medicine.
