Using a genetic fingerprint, researchers at the University of Utah's Huntsman Cancer Institute tracked the founder genetic mutation - a mutation that has been traced from many individuals in the present-day population to a common ancestor - back to the Frys. The Fry mutation has not been found in other places that researchers have looked - not in England, Denmark or Germany - further confirming that the mutation started with the Fry immigrants. (The researchers believe the genetic change either originated with George Fry or his wife, or that it began with a Fry in England, who died before passing it further...
...researchers studied two large families, one in Utah and the other in New York, both carrying the same genetic mutation. It was a true "Aha!" moment, says Neklason, when she linked the two families to a common ancestor. "I tried to connect them years ago anticipating that they would come together in the 1700s," she says. "I was amazed that they went further back, and thrilled with the impact of this finding." There is a 15-generation span between George Fry and his wife and the Fry ancestors today...
...general public, the organization collects samples from various indigenous groups around the globe in an effort to understand genetic diversity and answer the question of where humans come from. “The key thing to understand is that the human population is interconnected and there is no one ancestor,” Sabeti said. “We are an amalgamation of different races...
That's my mother's given name. Actually, it goes back to my ancestor Lord North, possibly the worst politician in the history of England. He's the one who blew the Colonies. I come by my interest in feckless politics honestly...
