Open AccessThe genomic analysis of current-day North African populations reveals the existence of trans-Saharan migrations with different origins and dates
The Sahara Desert has acted as a barrier to human gene-flow between the northern and central parts of Africa since its aridification. Nonetheless, some contacts between both sides of the desert have occurred t...

Open AccessWhole-exome analysis in Tunisian Imazighen and Arabs shows the impact of demography in functional variation
Human populations are genetically affected by their demographic history, which shapes the distribution of their functional genomic variation. However, the genetic impact of recent demography is debated. This i...
