The Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC) is a collaborative project that aims to provide a comprehensive resource of human genetic variation. It focuses on the exome, which is the part of the genome that contains the coding regions of genes. By analyzing data from thousands of individuals, ExAC helps researchers understand the frequency of genetic variants in different populations. ExAC is particularly valuable for studying rare genetic disorders and understanding the genetic basis of diseases. The data generated by the consortium is widely used in the fields of genetics and genomics, aiding in the interpretation of variants found in clinical settings and research studies.
