Recent genetic history of Denmark

The "Where Are You From?" project explores the extent to which recent and more distant historical events left their mark on the genetic structure of the current Danish population. The project's ultimate goal is to gain insights into the historical complexity of Denmark from the genetic perspective. To this goal, a data set consisting of approximately 800 high school students from across Denmark was used to run an extensive genetic analysis.
