There is such a biobank in the US being formed right now. It’s called “All of Us”, and it will probably have more genomes from Africans and American Natives than any other biobank in existence.
Unfortunately, it has two problems:
They have made it very hard to actually access the data. Getting an application for access actually approved is a huge slog, and researchers themselves actually have to pay for some of the costs.
They aren’t investigating intelligence at all
It would be incredibly helpful to have a large biobank (or even just a consumer genetics company like 23&Me) that was interested in intelligence. One such organization could triple or quadruple the accuracy of our current intelligence predictors.
