Title of project: 
“The migration history of Bristol” seen through a UK Breakdown of Ancestry decomposition for the ALSPAC cohort
Proposal summary: 

Based on methodology developed at the University of Bristol, it is now possible to identify the geographical region of the ancestors of an individual at the World, European, and importantly, at the UK county scale, based on genetic data that has already been gathered on the ALSPAC participants. This project will feed this personalised ancestry information back to the participants, and produce both a scientific and a lay summary of the overall ancestry of Bristol.
