The Genographic Project scientists gathered at National Geographic headquarters in early November for a week of scientific discussion and global collaboration. In from the field from over 14 different countries in some of the most remote areas of the world, the scientists discussed their recent research and upcoming opportunities to collaborate.   Pierre Zalloua discusses the Genographic Project with a local community representative on an expedition in northern Chad.

Genographic Scientists on NG Weekend "There is a lot of commonality among all of us, and it is fairly recent," says Genographic scientist Pierre Zalloua (Principal Investigator, Middle East). Pierre and Lisa Matisoo-Smith (Principal Investigator, Oceania) explain how the Genographic Project enhances our understanding of shared heritage on National Geographic Weekend radio. Tune in.   Laxmi Parida (left) and Jaume Bertranpetit (right) prepare their recombination research before presenting to their colleagues at the Genographic Conference in November.

Genographic Principal Investigator Jaume Bertranpetit and team member Marta Mele, along with IBM's Laxmi Parida, worked together to develop a new analytical method that traces the relationship between genetic sequences from patterns of recombination.

A portion of the net proceeds from Genographic Kit sales help support the Legacy Fund and field research. • The Genographic Project has published 25 scientific papers, and other manuscripts are in advanced stages of preparation. • It takes your cells eight hours to completely replicate your genome during cell division. Learn other facts about your genome.     Courtesy of NG Maps. Frequently Asked Question Q: I have received my results and would like to learn more about my recent ancestry. Do you have any tips for me? A: You can explore more recent ancestry once you have received your results. Go to the bottom of your Genographic Project Results page and click on the Learn More link, and you will find directions on how to transfer your results at no extra cost to Family Tree DNA's database, which you can query for genealogical matches. Family Tree DNA (a Genographic Project partner) will ask for your GPID and personal information, which will waive your anonymity.

"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)
