Abstract excerpt

Sudan lies at the crossroads of Africa and the Middle East, with rich cultural, linguistic, and ecological diversity shaped by a complex demographic history. We present a whole-genome sequencing (WGS) study of Sudanese populations, analyzing high-coverage genomes (~30×) from 125 individuals representing five ethnolinguistic groups across three language families. Our results reveal deep population structure,...
