Genomic diversity is a driving force influencing human and animal health, and susceptibility to disease. During the Keystone Symposium on Leveraging Genomic Diversity to Promote Human and Animal Health held in Kampala on Lake Victoria in Uganda, we brought together diverse communities of geneticists with primary objectives to explore areas of common interest, joint technological and methodological developments and applications, and to leverage opportunities for cross-learning. We explored translational genomics research in farmed animals and humans, debated the differences in research objectives in high- and low-resourced environments, delved into infectious diseases and zoonoses affecting humans and animals and considered diversity and cultural context at many levels. The 109 participants were from 22 countries (13 in Africa) and included 44 global travel awardees from 9 countries, equal numbers of men and women, of whom 31 were students and 13 senior investigators.

利用基因组多样性促进人类和动物健康。


基因组多样性是影响人类和动物健康以及疾病易感性的驱动力。在乌干达维多利亚湖畔坎帕拉举行的关于利用基因组多样性促进人类和动物健康的 Keystone 研讨会期间，我们聚集了不同的遗传学家社区，其主要目标是探索共同感兴趣的领域、联合技术和方法开发和应用，并利用交叉学习的机会。我们探索了养殖动物和人类的转化基因组学研究，讨论了资源丰富和资源匮乏环境中研究目标的差异，深入研究了影响人类和动物的传染病和人畜共患病，并在多个层面上考虑了多样性和文化背景。 109 名参与者来自 22 个国家（13 个在非洲），其中包括来自 9 个国家的 44 名全球旅行获奖者，男女人数相等，其中 31 名是学生，13 名是高级研究员。
