Podcasts about genographic project

Am 13. April 2005 startet das "Genographic Project": Mithilfe von DNA-Analysen soll es die Wanderbewegungen der Menschheit von ihren Anfängen bis heute klären.

Woher kommen wir? Eine Frage, mit der sich nicht nur Philosophen und Anthropologen beschäftigen, sondern in jüngerer Zeit auch Genetiker. Durch DNA-Analysen ist inzwischen bestätigt, dass alle heutigen Menschen eng verwandt sind und ihre Vorfahren aus Afrika stammen. Autorin: Daniela Wakonigg

We talk about how human beings moved out of Africa into other parts of the world

“When [one guy we tested] got these results he literally started crying. He said, “Now I know why I feel connected to these different groups. It really gives me a sense of belonging.’” Spencer Wells, population geneticist and former explorer in residence for National Geographic, wants to create an app for people to discover their genetic makeup. Hear Wells’ thoughts on DNA sequencing, his Emmy award, and the future of consumer genomics. Biography: Wells is a population geneticist and former explorer in residence for National Geographic. He directed the Genographic Project, which tells the story and tracks the movement of humans since their origin. His other titles include adjunct professor at UT Austin, author, and entrepreneur: using his expertise to help and found consumer genomic companies. Quote Preview: “We’re so diverse as a species, different skin colors and hair types, and shapes of our noses and all these things. How did those differences arise? How do they connect us in some way?” (10:00) “My latest company is called Insitome. We’re involved in trying to build what will become the app store for consumer genomics. The idea is that very soon everybody is going to have their DNA sequenced and it’s going to live up in a vault, but we don’t know everything about what all that material means yet." “I remember we tested a guy who was originally from Colombia a few years ago but he was adopted by a Dutch family living in New York and had grown up in New York with a Dutch name. He knew essentially nothing about his background except for Colombia so we tested him. He had ancestry, of course from Native Americans in South America, but also European ancestry from several places, Spain and Italy, he had a Y Chromosome that was all likelihood from an Ashkenazi Jewish person, he had sub-Saharan African ancestry, and when he got these results he literally started crying. He said, ‘Now I know why I feel connected to these different groups it really gives me a sense of belonging.’”

Hundretusenvis av mennesker over hele verden har sendt genene sine til analyse. Det heter Genographic Project og gjør at du kan finne dine forfedre svært langt tilbake i tid. Programleder: Torkild Jemterud.

In this interview with author Spencer Wells, we peer into the world of genetic testing. Full shownotes at: http://www.bengreenfieldfitness.com/?p=9516 You'll find out: How a modern diet represents “a profound shift in the causes of disease". How the rise of farming and animal domestication has had a deleterious effect on us. How we should change modern farming practices. Where genetic testing and gene research fits into the picture. Be sure to check out the book "Pandora's Seed" and also the Genographic Project - as well as 23andme.com genetic testing.

Aan boord 04-02-2010: Waar komen we oorspronkelijk vandaan en hoe hebben we ons door de eeuwen heen verplaatst? Die vraag staat centraal in het Genographic Project van National Geographic. Over de hele wereld nemen onderzoekers DNA-monsters af om te onderzoeken hoe de mensheid zich over wereld verspreid heeft. Vandaag kreeg Chris Darwin, de achter-achterkleinzoon van Charles Darwin, de uitslag van zijn DNA-test en Tjitske Mussche was erbij. Bijdrage voor het Radio 1 Journaal.

Spencer Wells, director of the Genographic Project, and Ajay Royyuru, IBM Research lead for the project, talk about this globe-spanning effort to collect DNA samples representing a worldwide range of diversity. They talk about the project mission, how the work is being done, and what they are already learning. They address some criticisms of the project, talk about the computing systems in use, and detail how to contribute to the study.
