Dr Bastian Llamas, ARC Future Fellow, Australian Centre for DNA will speak at the Epigenetics Science in the Pub. Dr Llamas works with ancient DNA and was recently awarded an Australian Research Council Future Fellowship to create the first ultra high-quality Aboriginal Australian reference genome to explore human adaption to diverse environments. Where: Rob Roy […]
We would like to formally congratulate Dr Bastien Llamas on his ARC Future Fellowship. Dr Llamas is part of the Australian Centre for Ancient DNA, one of the top laboratories in the world for ancient DNA research. He has been awarded almost $700,000 to create the first ultra high-quality Aboriginal Australian reference genome to explore […]
The first largescale study of ancient DNA from early American people has confirmed the devastating impact of European colonisation on the Indigenous American populations of the time. Led by the University of Adelaide’s Australian Centre for Ancient DNA (ACAD), the researchers have reconstructed a genetic history of Indigenous American populations by looking directly into the DNA of […]
Dr Bastien Llamas, from the University of Adelaide’s Ancient Centre for Ancient DNA (ACAD) was interviewed about the latest findings in ancient DNA research for a recent ABC News story. Dr Llamas was involved in a genetic study that studied DNA from the remains of 230 ancient individuals who lived between 3000 and 8500 years ago […]
