Ancient Genetic Clues into Modern Human Disease - Part 2

Explore the intersection of ancient DNA and modern health in this 56-minute webinar hosted by the National Human Genome Research Institute. Delve into the applications of ancient and historical DNA in understanding human disease, examining their current uses, availability, and geographic distribution. Investigate how these genetic resources contribute to characterizing the genetic architecture of various diseases and traits. Consider the importance of comprehensive sampling to capture genetic diversity across space and time, enabling stronger inferences about human health. Address the critical need for ethical and equitable frameworks in global community engagement and research partnerships. Gain insights into research gaps, responsible practices, and future opportunities as ancient DNA increasingly informs our understanding of disease variation across populations and regions.
