On Jun. 9, 2020, an international gnomAD team of over 100 scientists released its first set of discoveries in a collection of seven papers published in Nature, Nature Communications, and Nature Medicine.

The flagship paper cataloged the genetic variation in both the protein coding and non-coding regions of human DNA. Included were more than 125,000 exomes (which include only the parts that code for proteins) and 15,000 whole genomes, from populations in Europe, East and South Asia, Africa, and more.
