Abstract
The first step towards realizing personalized healthcare is to catalog the genetic variations in a population. Since the dissemination of individual-level genomic information is strictly controlled, it will be useful to construct population-level allele frequency panels and to provide them through easy-to-use interfaces. In the Tohoku Medical Megabank Project, we have sequenced nearly 4,000 individuals from a Japanese population, and constructed an allele frequency panel of 3,552 individuals after removing related samples. The panel is called the 3.5KJPNv2. It was constructed by using a standard pipeline including the 1KGP and gnomAD algorithms to reduce technical biases and to allow comparisons to other populations. Our database is the first largescale panel providing the frequencies of variants present oN the X chromosome and on the mitochondria in the Japanese https://jmorp.megabank.tohoku.ac.jp.
