John Doucet, Ph.D. Côte Génétique: A Genetic View of Acadian Immigration and Legacy Louisiana served as sanctuary for thousands of Acadians who suffered exile from their ancestral lands at the hands of local British occupants in the mid-18th century. Survivors of that cruel passage were settled by the Spanish territorial government of Louisiana in small groups that seeded historical towns and villages marking the southern Louisiana landscape today. Of the millions of Acadian descendants in Louisiana, a small number are born with rare genetic diseases, a phenomenon not uncommon in populations that have incurred population constriction such as exile. Doucet's talk will describe this phenomenon in terms of both population migration and genes.
