this collection was done two years ago last month in mongolia.it look us about three years to set up the collection in that we needed to line up collaborators both with the university, the international university in mongolia was our main source, but also the governmental agencies to make sure that consent and irb that we were working under here in the united states would be transferable to what changing we had to make. make shoo that we were in compliance with the types of rules and regulation that is were in place in mongolia. and then working with local -- where do we need to go to get a good sampling of individuals in mongolia. there are about 28 different known ethnics groups. we wanted to make sure we tried to get as many as those as possible. you can see it's not easy to read. you can see all of the different places, locales that we corrected from in trying to get an overall picture of what was going on in mongoli one of things that we found and actually it's not really not vary surprising, but when we started o lack at genetic diversity w
