Ukraine genome survey adds missing pieces to human diversity puzzle

(GigaScience) The largest study of genetic diversity in Ukraine was published in the open science journalGigaScience. Led by researchers at Uzhhorod National University and Oakland University in the US, the work provides genetic understanding of the historic and pre-historic migration settlements in one of the key intersections of human trade and migration between the Eurasian peoples and identifies genetic variants of medical interest in the Ukrainian population that differ from other European populations.
