CRGGH Work Highlighted by AJHG

The manuscript, entitled "Whole-Genome-Sequence-Based Haplotypes Reveal Single Origin of the Sickle Allele during the Holocene Wet Phase," updated our understanding of when and how the mutation that causes "sickling" of red blood cells arose (previous blog post). This work captured worldwide attention, with articles written in the New York Times, BBC News, Science Magazine, and others.

Congratulations to authors Daniel Shriner and Charles Rotimi!
