Characterization of Arabian Peninsula whole exomes: exploring high inbreeding features

The paper characterizes Arabian Peninsula whole exomes, identifying high inbreeding features and a high burden of potentially deleterious variants.

Projecting ancient ancestry in modern-day Arabians and Iranians: a key role of the past exposed Arabo-Persian Gulf on human migrations

The paper models ancestry in Arabians and Iranians, finding strong west-east population structure and evidence linking east Arabians to basal Eurasians.

Genome-wide analysis of Corsican population reveals a close affinity with Northern and Central Italy

The paper analyzes genome-wide data from Corsicans and finds they are genetically closer to Northern and Central Italians than to Sardinians.

Population structure of modern-day Italians reveals patterns of ancient and archaic ancestries in Southern Europe

The paper analyzes the genetic structure of modern-day Italians to reveal ancient and archaic ancestries shaping Southern European populations and Neanderthal DNA distribution.

IPCAPS: an R package for iterative pruning to capture population structure

IPCAPS is an R package that uses iterative pruning PCA to resolve fine-scale population structure from SNP data, improving subpopulation detection and reducing misclassification.
