The PALEOQUINOA project investigates the genetic, transcriptomic, and epigenetic changes in quinoa over the last 3,500 years using ancient DNA techniques. By analyzing archaeological specimens, it aims to uncover lost genetic diversity and enhance quinoa's adaptability to ensure food security.
Quinoa is a highly nutritious grain identified by the UN as an essential crop to improve world food security.
Pre-Columbian cultures started the domestication of quinoa about 7,000 years ago in the highland and coastal environments of the Andes where it is adapted to various biotic and abiotic stresses.
The spread of quinoa out the centres of domestication likely required adaptation to new environments supported by favourable alleles at critical genetic and epigenetic loci.
However, domesticatio…
