Description
English: Matrix of FST distances between Arabian and Near Eastern populations, based on Genome-wide statistical analyses of 215,286 SNPs. When evaluating FST values in pairwise comparisons between Arabian and Near Eastern populations, we see that FST values are higher between Yemen and all other populations (and also for comparisons with Samaritans, but these results may be biased by low sample size, n=3). The UAE is closer to Jordan, Syria and Lebanon than Saudi Arabia is; while Saudi are closer to Palestinians, Druze and Samaritans than UAE. Thus, FST values support lower or similar genetic distances between UAE and Near Eastern populations as between Saudi and Near Eastern populations, while Yemen is clearly more divergent.
