[Shicheng Guo]

Hi All,

We know that UKBB is very useful, free-available, exciting and amazing genetic data for population genetics, epidemiology, and genetic evolution. I want to know the limitation of this data, especially in drug target identification.

Thanks.

From the UK biobank "The UK Biobank 50k WES FE dataset is incorrectly mapped in a non-alt-aware manner."

See the paper describing the issue here (BioRxiv)

Thanks. I noticed this problem several days ago. Is there any other limitation?
