Excited to share our new paper out in @ScienceAdvances!! We analyse new genetic data from >1300 people from West and Central Africa and Sudan, finding incredible diversity and signals of admixture across the continent. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…. #ScienceAdvancesResearch thread>
Despite the clear insights into medicine and human history that studying African diversity can provide, African genomes have been, and still are, underrepresented in genetic studies compared to other regions of the world
