The state of diversity in EWAS data and future steps: Number of (A) studies and (B) individual-level samples across ethnicities. Study-level information was taken from EWAS Atlas (https://download.cncb.ac.cn/ewas/EWAS_Atlas_cohorts.tsv, accessed 4 Nov. 2021, taking ethnicity categories with over 20 samples). Individual-level sample data was taken from EWAS Data Hub (https://ngdc.cncb.ac.cn/ewas/datahub, accessed 4-Nov-21, taking ethnicity categories with over 200 samples. Ethnicities “White (not Hispanic or Latino),” “Caucasian,” “White,” “European American,” “Caucasian - European,” “Northern European,” “Utah, northern and western Europe,” and “European” were grouped into the European category. C List of future steps we propose to address current issues and ensure an appropriate roadmap for increasing value and diversity in EWAS and DNAm data. This list includes technical, scientific community and outreach-related steps. Only by including all players and aspects of scientific research will it be possible to fully realize the potential of epigenomic data in diverse populations
