Gathering genetic data has become easier and more cost effective over recent years. As a result, thousands of genomes have been generated both from modern humans and ancient ancestors. One of the major challenges for putting that information into a cohesive story is the variances in the way genome information is stored.
Researchers from the University of Oxford’s Big Data Institute have taken a major step towards mapping the entirety of genetic relationships among humans: a single genealogy that traces the ancestry of all of us. The study has been published today in
Using DNA from up to 100,000 years ago, researchers have created the world’s largest family tree covering 50,000 generations, that validates the Out-of-Africa theory.
Researchers have created the largest-ever family tree – a genealogical network of human genetic diversity – that is a major step towards mapping the genetic
