The Genetic Variability of Present‐Day Bulgarians Captures Ancient and Recent Ancestral Contributions
Our results align with previous evidence highlighting the impact that some historical events may have had not only in contributing to the ethnical and socio-cultural richness of present-day populations, but also in participating in the formation of the current genomic landscape. By providing new data from modern highly-representative samples, this study integrates further research to provide a comprehensive overview of the genetic history of Bulgaria.
