Abstract:
In 1953, Watson and Crick discovered the structure of DNA, and soon after, other scientists discovered that DNA is unique to every living thing. Thanks to this, DNA can be used, for example, to distinguish a sample from a crime scene. One of the interesting projects presented in the work (the Genography project) is a genetic-anthropological research that seeks to map the great human migrations that have occurred throughout history by collecting and analyzing DNA samples from over 100,000 people from five continents. It is also called the "trip to the moon" of anthropology. The paper shows where this specificity of DNA analysis is used (forensics, reference databases for metabarcoding, environmental pollution monitoring).
