"In the last 10 years, DNA sequencing technology has advanced dramatically so that it becomes feasible to systematically sequence many people to find genetic variants and build a catalogue which we can use as a basis for investigations into disease genetics and which variants may be functional," said Dr Richard Durbin of the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute in Cambridge and co-chair of the 1,000 Genomes Project.

Genomes from Denisovans, a third early human species, were originally traced to the people of Oceania, but further investigation reveals that genomes can also be found among East Asia populations, the Telegraph reports.

In the next phase of the 1,000 Genomes Project, 2,000 samples from 27 populations around the world will be studied over the next two years.

David L. Altshuler, deputy director of the Broad Institute of Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a co-chairman of the 1000 Genomes Project steering committee, said a large catalog is a critical tool in figuring out which genetic differences might increase risk of disease.
