1. Iranome Project

IRANOME: IRANIAN GENOMIC VARIATIONS. The human genome is highly variable, and each individual’s genome contains approximately 3.5 million single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and 1,000 large (>500 bp) Copy Number Variations (CNVs).

Today, large-scale projects such as the 1000 Genomes and the International HapMap projects have been implemented on large-scale samples from different populations such as Europeans, Americans, East Asians, and sub-

Saharan Africans to increase our understanding of the contribution of genomic variations to human diseases
