ancient DNA for Modern Genomics (aDMG) Research Projects
Funds research using ancient human DNA data to understand the diseases and traits people carry today.
Modern disease has an ancient signature, written into DNA that predates any living patient. This notice funds reading it for what it says about health now.
The award establishes an ancient DNA for Modern Genomics (aDMG) research project, building an ethical resource of ancient and historical human DNA (aDNA) data aimed squarely at contemporary human traits and biology — not archaeology for its ow…
Research projects building and using an ethical ancient human DNA (aDNA) resource, integrating it with modern human and other-species data to advance the biological and epidemiological understanding of contemporary human diseases and health-related traits, combining DNA sequencing, computational genomics, human evolution and ancient-population expertise.
