Catalogue summary
Whole genomes from thirty-four Armenians reveal broad highland homogeneity, a recent Sasun bottleneck, no strong Balkan ancestry signal, and post-Bronze-Age input related to Levantine farmers.
Why this matters
The dataset joins population history to medically relevant variation, including a newly catalogued mutation associated with familial Mediterranean fever.
