Impact of demography and population dynamics on the genetic architecture of human longevity

class="figure-viewer-img"

Figure 3. Overview of the diachronic approach used to combine information about processes occurred at different timescales (i.e. evolutionary and lifespan ones) in the study of the genetics of human longevity. (A) Northern European, N-E; Central/Eastern European, CE-E; Southern European, S-E; Middle Eastern, ME; Northern African, NA. (B) Each dot represents an individual in the general population - left - and in centenarians - right. The colour indicates the recruitment center and the position in the map indicates the genetic similarity).
