Objectives Studies of the apportionment of human genetic diversity have found that local
populations harbor nearly as much diversity as the species as a whole. These studies have …

Despite being enclosed between the Mediterranean Sea and the Sahara Desert, North
Africa has been the scenario of multiple human migrations that have shaped the genetic …

Africa is the continent with the greatest genetic diversity among humans and the level of
diversity is further enhanced by incorporating non-majority groups, which are often …

We investigated ancestry of 3,528 modern humans from 163 samples. We identified 19
ancestral components, with 94.4% of individuals showing mixed ancestry. After using whole …

Adaptive introgression (AI) facilitates local adaptation in a wide range of species. Many state-
of-the-art methods detect AI with ad-hoc approaches that identify summary statistic outliers …

Despite the genetic resemblance of Canary Islanders to other southern European
populations, their geographical isolation and the historical admixture of aborigines (from …

Anatomically modern humans arose in Africa∼ 300,000 years ago, but the demographic
and adaptive histories of African populations are not well-characterized. Here, we have …

The 22 Arab nations have a unique genetic structure, which reflects both conserved and
diverse gene pools due to the prevalent endogamous and consanguineous marriage culture …

Background Little is known about the peopling of the Sahara during the Holocene climatic
optimum, when the desert was replaced by a fertile environment. Results In order to …

Following the publication of the first human genome, OMICs research, including genomics,
transcriptomics, proteomics, and metagenomics, has been on the rise. OMICs studies …
