This project aims to analyze the DNA of 500 victims of the Black Death to understand genetic mixing in populations and the selective pressures from infectious diseases. By linking ancient and modern genomes, it seeks to provide insights into European population structure and identify genetic variants associated with mo…
The study of ancient human DNA has been revolutionary in identifying large-scale admixtures and genetic variants subject to natural selection.
Yet, key knowledge gaps persist.
First, ongoing genetic mixing within spatially continuous populations is poorly understood.
Second, the underlying selective pressures, particularly of infectious diseases, remain debated.
To bridge both gaps, I propose sequencing 500 victims of the Black Death, one of the deadliest pandemics in human history, from a site…
