Today's genetic discoveries aren't equally applicable to everyone. Most of our findings still come from people of predominantly European ancestry, creating large gaps in who might benefit.
Our research team is working to address this imbalance!
Today we launch The Australian DNA Bridge, a study focused on individuals with mixed ancestries to help us make genetic discoveries that are more accurate, inclusive, and equitable across all populations.

Day #1 of The Australian DNA Bridge Study! More in a few hours...Stay tuned.
So, today we launch The Australian DNA Bridge, the first Australia-based study focused on individuals with mixed ancestries. This study will help us make new genetic discoveries that are more accurate, inclusive, and equitable across all populations.
