By leveraging biological and clinical heterogeneity across different populations in omics data and expanding the populations that are included in immunogenomics research, we can enhance our understanding of human adaptive immune responses, promote the development of effective diagnostics and treatments, and eventually advance precision medicine. However, challenges need to be overcome, including the high levels of copy number variation and segmental duplication in the BCR and TCR loci, and the need for protocols to validate novel allelic variants gleaned from short-read sequencing data 45, 77 Finally, we suggest the need for additional infrastructure and expertise in regions and countries with populations underrepresented in research, and to enhance collaborations between countries, which are critical in minimizing global health disparities. ./cache/cord-151532-mpv2wegm.txt ./txt/cord-151532-mpv2wegm.txt
