Project description:The human transitions from nomadic to agrarian to urban lifestyles are likely to impact physiology and disease susceptibility. In order to estimate the magnitude of the impact of lifestyle on genome function, we profiled gene expression in total leukocytes of Moroccan Amazigh from three distinct localities. Despite great expression heterogeneity in humans, as much as one third of the PBMC transcriptome was found to differ between the localities. Keywords: Population genomic comparison
Project description:This dataset contains genome-wide array data from Tunisian and Moroccan individuals. Tunisian individuals were sampled in the city of Tunis (n = 64), and Moroccan individuals in different urban areas in the country (n = 45).
