Thousands of Qatari genomes inform human migration history and improve imputation of Arab haplotypes
Arab populations are relatively understudied, especially their genetic architecture and historical relationship with early founders of the ancient Near East. Here, the authors examine 6,218 Qatari whole genomes, revealing insights on migration, population history and genetic structure of populations...

description | Arab populations are relatively understudied, especially their genetic architecture and historical relationship with early founders of the ancient Near East. Here, the authors examine 6,218 Qatari whole genomes, revealing insights on migration, population history and genetic structure of populations across the Middle Eastern region. |
