The genetic scenario of Mercheros: an under-represented population within the Iberian Peninsula

In this work we analyze for the first time the Merchero population, a Spanish minority ethnic group that has been scarcely studied and historically persecuted. We examine the demographic history and the genetic scenario of Mercheros by using genome-wide array data and whole mitochondrial sequences.
