Living DNA announced in their blog that they have just launched a DNA research project aiming to map Germany’s genetic history. They are going to be working with Germany’s largest genealogy society, Verein für Computergenealogie e.V. (CompGen). Together they are looking for individuals with four grandparents who were all born within 80 kilometres of each other. This includes people from modern Germany as well as historical regions of Germany like Silesia, Posen, Pomerania and East & West Prussia. Eligible participants will be able to purchase their DNA test for 89€ instead of the regular 159€. More details about the project and how to join can be found here.
Living DNA has used data from Oxford University's Peoples of the British Isles Project to map the genetic variations between 20 regions of Britain. They started a similar projected for Ireland in October, looking into 13 distinct subppopulations. The new data should be rolled out for customers by the end of this month.
