Abstract excerpt
Galicia, at the westernmost edge of Europe, exhibits distinctive genetic traits compared to other Iberian populations. We present the first whole-genome sequencing (WGS) study of a Galician population (GALOMICS; n = 91; 17.2 M variants; https://galomics.genpob.eu), analyzed alongside WGS data from other Spanish and continental populations (n = 1078). Contrary to recent claims of extreme genetic stratification,...
