African Genomes and Tuberculosis

This week we explore the potential of genome-wide association studies in Africa to see how they can provide information on susceptibility to diseases such as Tuberculosis and also provide insight into the human population as a whole. We also dig deep into the field of archaeology to find out what the ancient Romans had on their daily menus as well as discover what ancient faeces can tell about a population. Plus, we reveal how mosquitoes sniff out their human targets!
