Human_Evolution_3C

This project aims to sequence whole genomes of individuals with Aboriginal Australian ancestry. The genetic history of Australian Aboriginals is thought to be a key component for the understanding of human migrations outside of Africa, yet very few genetic studies have been done on this population to date. Likewise, little is known about the current day genetic landscape of Australian Aboriginals. The novel feature of these individuals is that some carry self-stated Tasmanian ancestry. By sequencing whole genomes and comparing them to other genetic data from Australia and the rest of the world this study will contribute to an increased understanding of the genetics of this population.
