🔴 🇬🇱 **Genetic architecture in Greenland is shaped by demography, structure and selection**

_“...we find twice as many high-impact genome-wide associations to metabolic traits in Greenland compared with Europe. We infer that the high-impact variants arose after the population split from Native Americans and thus are Arctic-specific, and show that some of them are common due to not only genetic drift but also selection.”_
