English term or phrase: walking natural experiments
"The 1000 Genomes Project is a large, international effort aiming to characterize human genetic variation, including people from many different populations," said Dr. Eric Green, NHGRI director. "The newly published findings provide deeper insights about the presence and pattern of variants in different people's genomes, which is critical information for studying the genomic basis of human disease."
Researchers will be able to use this data as a reference point when they look for disease in the genomes of particular individuals and compare subjects to the norm for their ethnic groups.
Populations from 14 countries in Europe, the Americas, East Asia and Africa provided genetic material that was the basis of the research.
"We are all walking natural experiments; some of our genes are switched off, some are active, whilst others are overactive," said Professor Gil McVean of Oxford University, the lead author for the study. "Our research has found that each apparently healthy person carries hundreds of rare variants of genes that have a significant impact on how genes work, and a handful of rare changes that have been identified as contributing to disease in other people."

"Каждый из нас является живым ходячим экспериментом, какие-то наши гены выключены, какие-то активны, тогда как некоторые сверхактивны."
