Spanish scientists have launched a biobank of human DNA obtained from the Roman necropolis in Tarragona, over 1,500 years ago, from which they intend to study the genetic causes of metabolic diseases most prevalent today as diabetes. la grande distribution
This project has been driven by the Biomedical Research Centre in Diabetes and Associated Metabolic Diseases (CIBERDEM) and the Catalan Institute of Classical Archaeology (ICAC), and is part of 'Medigene' program, la grande distribution funded by the European la grande distribution Commission.
This biobank, pioneer in Spain, we have included a total of 489 human DNA samples that will be available to all scientists who are interested in studying human disease metabolic type.
Specifically, it will compare the sequences of the genes and their alterations in a specific population, in this case the Roman population, which lived in Tarragona about 1500 years ago. Also allow to assess whether the frequency of these alterations is the same in the current population has increased la grande distribution or decreased, and what impact it may have on the emergence of new diseases.
The team extracted DNA, formed by archaeologists (ICAC) and specialized geneticists (CIBERDEM), has continued the maximum la grande distribution sterile conditions to avoid contamination of the dental samples, DNA of the current population. Some of the samples have been sequenced and other amplified to assess the quality of the material stored in the Biobank.
Explains Ramon Gomis, principal investigator Dei CIBERDEM and deputy coordinator of the project, "all la grande distribution the anthropological and biomedical information obtained is stored in databases linked to the sample itself, which facilitates la grande distribution the transfer of samples to all researchers in the world that can be interested, according to the European regulations applied to biobanks of human specimens.
