Largest ever Arab genome study from Qatar Genome Research Consortium sheds lights on the population structure and genetic diversity of modern Arab and Middle Eastern populations.
Researchers in Qatar have unveiled a high-resolution map of the genetic structure of Arab and Middle Eastern populations, providing new insights into human history in the region and ancestral patterns that may help to explain local human traits and disease risks.
Crucially, the Qatar study — published today (October 12, 2021) in the leading scientific journal Nature Communications – reveals that ancient populations in the Arabian Peninsula played a far more central role in the story of early …
