[QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Oshun: [qb] Okay but where's the study that reveals the data? Is there something that tells us where they sampled their Native Egyptians? The most important question for me is also how (genetically) they define a Jew, Arab, North African or someone from Asia Minor? What haplogroups, or genetic data are they using to make their conclusions. I want to repeat that I'm not saying it cannot be true simply because I'm asking this. [/qb][/QUOTE]The Genographic Project The project is a mutliyear research initiative of the National Geographic Society. Genographic was launched in 2005 by geneticist Dr. Spencer Wells, and it is currently led by anthropologist Dr. Miguel Vilar. Vilar and a team of renowned scientists are using cutting-edge genetic and computational technologies to analyze historical patterns in DNA from participants around the world to better understand our shared genetic roots. The Genographic Project is anonymous, nonmedical, and nonprofit. The Genographic Project aims are: 1 – to gather and analyze research data in collaboration with indigenous and traditional peoples, 2 – to invite, encourage, and educate the public through participation in this real-time citizen-science project, while they learn about their own deep ancestry, and 3 – to support scientific research and community-led conservation and revitalization by investing a portion of the proceeds from the Genographic DNA kit sales into National Geographic Society grants. With a new 2016 partnership with Helix, Genographic Project participants can take control of their genetic results and explore even more deeply what else is hidden in their DNA. Geno 2.0 Next Generation Kit Building on the science from the earlier phases of the Genographic Project, we have developed a cutting-edge new test kit, called Geno 2.0 Next Generation, that enables members of the public to participate in the Genographic Project while learning fascinating insights about their own ancestry. The Geno 2.0 Next Generation test examines a unique collection of nearly 300,000 DNA identifiers, called “markers,” that have been specifically selected to provide unprecedented ancestry-relevant information. From just a simple saliva sample, we can isolate your unique DNA. We then run a comprehensive analysis to identify thousands of genetic markers on your mitochondrial DNA, which is passed down each generation from mother to child, to reveal your direct maternal deep ancestry. In the case of men, we will also examine markers on the Y chromosome, which is passed down from father to son, to reveal your direct paternal deep ancestry. In addition, for all participants, we analyze a collection of more than 250,000 other ancestry-informative markers from across your entire genome to reveal the regional affiliations of your ancestry, offering insights into your ancestors who are not on a direct maternal or paternal line. For Scientists Since 2005, the Genographic Project has worked with a global network of scientists. Today, through on-going research grants and shared access to the data, the Genographic Project continues to support a broad and global effort to study the genetic origins and diversity of humanity. The Genographic Project uses cutting-edge genetic technology to decipher an age-old question: Where do we come from? Over the past several years, a team of international researchers has collaborated with more than 75,000 indigenous and traditional participants in the project. Coupled with our more than 745,000 public participants, these samples and results are yielding unprecedented insight into our shared migratory history. The Genographic Project has a valuable collection of genetic and geographic data that can be accessed by researchers through an application process. We encourage qualified researchers to contact our Lead Scientist, Dr. Miguel Vilar (mvilar@ngs.org) for information on the Genographic database. Genetic technology is progressing at an extraordinary pace. By harnessing the information and knowledge gleaned from data analysis in the first two phases of the Project, Genographic is now entering its next phase: Geno 2.0 Next Generation. In this new phase, next generation sequencing allows us to delve deeper to discover new genetic patterns and migratory paths. Scientists are encouraged to use the Genographic Project technology for their own research. Contact Dr. Miguel Vilar for details. Through an interactive feature of the Geno 2.0 Next Generation participation experience, participants have the option to join in the search for new information about their own ancestry, read stories of migration from other participants, and add their own personal story to our collective understanding human history, all on our website. Working together, our global scientific team, the broader community of genetic genealogists and our own Genographic participants are charting a new direction in citizen science collaboration. When participants in the project choose to make their results available for scientific research, those anonymous results become part of the database that can be accessed by approved researchers. Access to the DNA Analysis Repository (DAR) is available for scientists and genealogists through an online application. Contact Genographic Lead Scientist, Dr. Miguel Vilar [/QB][/QUOTE]
