Genomic history of the Italian population recapitulates key evolutionary dynamics of both Continental and Southern Europeans

Abstract Background The cline of human genetic diversity observable across Europe is recapitulated at a micro-geographic scale by variation within the Italian population. Besides resulting from extensive gene flow, this might be ascribable also to local adaptations to diverse ecological contexts evo...
