A large-scale stage of genetic research has been completed in Russia as part of the "100,000+Me" project. The Center for Whole Genome Sequencing of the "Biotechnological Campus" LLC has collected and systematized over 100,000 biomaterial samples, of which more than 80,000 have already been decoded. Full data processing is planned by the end of 2025.
The project is being implemented within the framework of the Federal Scientific and Technical Program for the Development of Genetic Technologies with the support of PJSC "NK "Rosneft". The main goal is to identify hereditary predispositions to severe diseases and create a reference database of the genetic diversity of the Russian population. Scientists have already discovered the genetic causes of diseases in 10,000 patients, and have also identified thousands of unique DNA variants associated with 500 rare diseases.
Special attention is paid to ethnic diversity: samples from 5,000 representatives of 50 nationalities of Russia have been analyzed. In regions such as Yakutia and the North Caucasus, in-depth studies are being conducted to develop genetic screening programs. The data obtained will help in the prevention of hereditary pathologies and the development of personalized medicine.
