Funded Activity Summary

Trails of migration out of Africa in harmful mutations of the First Peoples. This project aims to study harmful mutations specific to Indigenous populations. The process of migration out of Africa has left its footprints in the mutations present in world populations. By investigating these unique signatures, this project aims to characterise the harmful mutations specific to Aboriginal Australians using the whole genome sequences of the First Peoples. The expected outcomes will benefit future Aboriginal health research to better understand the mutations associated with various genetic diseases.
