Whole Genome sequencing of Angolan and Mozambican individuals

To support the continued discovery and cataloguing of genomic variation in human populations and to further our understanding of the Bantu Expansion, we sequenced the genomes of 291 individuals from Cabinda, a northern exclave of Angola, and 49 individuals from Maputo, the capital of Mozambique. Utilising the power and flexibility of these whole-genome sequencing datasets, we discover rare variation, fine-scale population structure, and perform analyses using haplotype-based inference tools and our own model-based simulation framework to reconstruct complex dispersals of Bantu speak-ing populations across sub-Saharan Africa.EGA study EGAS00001007458
