Ancient Genetic Clues into Modern Human Disease - Part 1
Offered By: National Human Genome Research Institute via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore the fascinating intersection of ancient DNA and modern medicine in this webinar hosted by the National Human Genome Research Institute. Delve into the current applications, availability, and geographic distribution of ancient and historical DNA resources and their role in characterizing the genetic architecture of various diseases and traits. Examine the need for deeper sampling of ancient and historical DNA to capture the full spectrum of human genetic diversity across space and time, enabling stronger inferences about human disease. Address the importance of ethical and equitable frameworks for engaging with communities and researchers worldwide to prevent disparities in biological and medical insights. Identify research gaps, responsible practices, and future opportunities as ancient and historical DNA increasingly informs our understanding of disease variation across populations and regions. Gain valuable insights from the research community on the potential uses of ancient DNA in advancing human health research and medicine.
