Description:
The QTL (Quantitative Trait Locus) programme was based at the MRC Human Genetics Unit in the University of Edinburgh. The ongoing research programme uses the unique population structures in our Scottish and Croatian cohorts to deliver biological understanding of the causes of variation in complex traits. Together, the Viking Genes studies contain 10,000 samples from volunteers with ancestry from the Northern and Western Isles of Scotland, www.ed.ac.uk/viking. Collectively, the CROATIA cohorts contain 6,000 participants. All of these biobanks were constructed from people with high kinship and extensive pedigree structures. They were collected together with detailed phenotype data, some of which is longitudinal. Plasma, serum, urine and DNA samples, as well as detailed genomic, proteomic and metabolomics data can be made available for collaborative research.
