Evidence of population specific selection inferred from 289 genome sequences of Nilo-Saharan and Niger-Congo linguistic groups in Africa

2017-09-10

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> There are over 2000 genetically diverse ethno-linguistic groups in Africa that could help decipher human evolutionary history and the genetic basis of phenotypic variation. We have sequenced 300 genomes from Niger-Congo populations from six sub-Saharan African countries (Uganda, Democratic Republic of Congo, Cameroon, Zambia, Ivory Coast, Guinea) and a Nilo-Saharan population from Uganda. Of t...
