Lisa Matisoo-Smith, Genographic Project Investigator at the Oceania Center in Otago, New Zealand, recently returned from a week in the field in Emirau, Papua New Guinea. Having worked with the Emirau community for the past four years, Lisa has built strong relationships with local schools and community leaders. Read Lisa's stories from the field and learn about the Emirau community's interest in their history and heritage. | | | | | Did you know? | | • | Now in its fifth year, the Genographic Legacy Fund has supported 53 projects, which span six continents and reflect over $1.4 million dollars in grants. This year's awards went to projects in Alaska, Ghana, India, Papua New Guinea, Peru, Namibia and Nigeria. | | • | The Genographic Project was launched in 2005 initially as a five-year project; however, our research centers will continue their field work and analysis through 2011. We anticipate that publications from the analyses of the data will continue for several years into the future and Genographic Public Participation Kits will be continue to be available for members of the public to purchase. | | • | You can explore the Arctic with Project Director Spencer Wells.

The University of Adelaide hosted a Genographic swabbing event at the Adelaide Central Market, inviting one hundred Adelaideans to swab for free on a first-come, first-served basis. Post Doc Wolfgang Haak and Principal Investigator Alan Cooper from Genographic's Ancient DNA research center based in Adelaide, combined the results to provide insight into each individual's deep ancestry and a snapshot of Adelaide's migratory history at a public lecture held at the university.

Q: If I have already tested with the Genographic Project, should I still give my family members a Genographic Public Participation Kit?
A: Each Public Participation Kit tests either the maternal or paternal side of your DNA, following the bloodline down through the generations. If you have tested one side, you or a blood relative can still test the other side. Males possess both a Y chromosome (paternal) and mitochondrial (maternal) DNA, so they may choose to test either side with the Genographic Public Participation Kit (one test per kit). As females do not possess a Y chromosome, they can test only their maternal DNA but can discover more about their paternal lineage by asking a male blood relative to test instead. Learn more about Y chromosome and mitochondrial DNA on our website.

"Haz tu Arbol Genealogico...El Arbol mas Hermoso de la Creacion"
Por medio de la historia familiar descubrimos el árbol más hermoso de la creación: nuestro árbol genealógico. Sus numerosas raíces se remontan a la historia y sus ramas se extienden a través de la eternidad. La historia familiar es la expresión extensiva del amor eterno; nace de la abnegación y provee la oportunidad de asegurarse para siempre una unidad familiar".
(Élder J. Richard Clarke, Liahona julio de 1989, pág.69)
