Title Whole genomes from the population of the Faroe Islands Degree of recognition International Media name/outlet setur.fo Media type Web Country/Territory Faroe Islands Date 18/12/23 Description In his recent BMC Genomics paper, Professor Hannes Gislason of the University of the Faroe Islands analyses whole genomes from the Faroese population
His study explores SNP heterozygosity, inbreeding, and relatedness over time, which have implications for personalized medicine, genetic disease research, and are of archaeological interest. He estimates that the founding event of the Faroe Islands was between 50-300 AD, potentially 2-3 centuries earlier than previously believed based on archaeological findings.Producer/Author Hannes Gislason URL https://www.setur.fo/en/the-university/news/whole-genomes-from-the-population-of-the-faroe-islands Persons Hannes Gislason
