Ancient genomes: perspectives on human biology and medicine | Genetics Society It is our great pleasure to invite you to participate in the Autumn Meeting of the Genetics Society. This meeting will provide a unique forum to network and socialise with a wide cross-section of the ...

🧬Submit your abstract now – deadline Monday!

This meeting will bring together researchers interested in using ancient genomes to understand the role that migrations, introgression, adaptation & selection, have played in shaping human genetic variation and disease.
