Genographic Project
The Genographic Project, launched on 13 April 2005 by the National Geographic Society and IBM, is a multi-year genetic anthropology study that aims to map historical human migration patterns by collecting and analyzing DNA samples from hundreds of thousands of people from around the world.〔http://www.gene-watch.org/programs/privacy/ResponsibleGenographics.html〕
==Overview==
Led by project director Dr. Spencer Wells, field researchers at 11 regional centers around the world collect DNA samples from indigenous populations. The project also sells self-testing kits to members of the general public.
The project is a privately funded, not-for-profit collaboration between the National Geographic Society, IBM and the (Waitt Foundation ).
In Fall 2012, The Genographic Project announced the completion of a new genotyping array, dedicated to Genetic Anthropology, called the GenoChip. GenoChip is specifically designed for anthropological testing and includes SNPs from autosomal DNA, X-chromosome DNA, Y-chromosome DNA and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). The design of the new chip was a collaborative effort between Spencer Wells of National Geographic, Dr. Eran Elhaik of Johns Hopkins, Family Tree DNA, and Illumina.〔http://gbe.oxfordjournals.org/content/5/5/1021.full.pdf+html〕
