More than 50 members from the international Genographic consortium arrived in Sydney, Australia this week for the project's scientific conference. Coming from over a dozen different countries, we are all are excited to catch up with colleagues to present our most recent findings and discuss future collaborations. We kicked off the conference with presentations from each center that were focused on key scientific questions for focus in the coming year. Lots of discussion...!
With a full science agenda at this year's conference, we'll have much to report.
