Growing the Y-chromosome tree with the help of citizen science

The University of Leicester have announced an exciting new collaborative project to grow the Y-chromosome tree with the help of citizen scientists.

Anyone who has taken the BigY test or a Y-chromosome sequencing at another company such as Full Genomes or YSEQ is eligible to participate. The project is particularly interested in getting data from people with patrilines from Devon, Cornwall and the Arabian peninsula.
