About
54gene was an African genomics research, services, and health technology company that aimed to address the under-representation of African genomic data in global medical research. This gap exists because a tiny fraction of genetic data used in drug discovery and precision medicine comes from people of African descent — despite Africans being among the most genetically diverse populations on Earth.
