Abstract: To preserve genetic resources of different Chinese ethnic groups’ genomes and establish the sample bank of the genome-wide DNA,2 mL peripheral blood was collected from each volunteer of different ethnic minorities according to the clinical blood collection standards and complying with the principle of informed consent.Automatic nucleic acid extraction machine was used to conduct high-throughput extraction of all blood samples,and the samples were numbered and put in the bank after passing quality control.The established sample bank of the genome-wide DNA includes 545 samples from ethnic minorities.The bank will provide material basis for the research of anthropogenesis and interaction of environment and genetic background;it will also serve as a resource for disease treatment and diagnostics.

Key words: ethnic minorities, genome-wide, DNA sample bank
