This release adds 8 evidence-backed project records, bringing the public Nuqta Atlas to 961 records.

  1. United Arab EmiratesPRJEB82449

    UAE Ghaf Population Genomics Study

    Population-scale whole-genome resequencing of Ghaf trees collected across the UAE to characterize population structure, genetic diversity, differentiation and gene flow for conservation, seed banking and climate-resilient restoration.

    Open record
  2. United Arab EmiratesPRJNA838117

    UAE Prosopis cineraria (Ghaf) Reference Genome 2022

    De novo near-chromosomal reference genome and annotation for the UAE national tree Prosopis cineraria, combining Illumina short reads, PacBio long reads, Omni-C scaffolding and transcriptome evidence to support studies of desert adaptation and legume genome evolution.

    Open record
  3. Bahrainbh-forensic-snp-ngs-baseline

    Bahraini Forensic SNP NGS Baseline

    93 high-quality autosomal SNPs analyzed using an NGS forensic panel; study establishes a population-specific allele-frequency baseline and reports clustering near Middle Eastern and South Asian reference populations.

Method and interpretation

A living index with visible evidence.

Inclusion rule

Evidence-backed genomics projects with an explicit connection to one or more GCC states through sample origin, a submitting or data-producing institution, or an explicit regional research scope.

Repository discovery and grouping

NCBI BioProject was searched using exact quoted GCC country names across all fields. Repeated submissions sharing country, submitter, registration date, data type, and narrative were grouped into one series.

Evidence grades

Grade A records have official or primary evidence with durable project, accession, or dataset corroboration. Grade B records have strong evidence with less complete public corroboration than grade A. 5,601 grade-C candidates remain outside this release pending corroboration.

Interpretation cautions
  • Atlas is a public research index, not a clinical database.
  • Repository registration confirms a durable regional record, not current operating activity.
  • Country counts overlap when a record covers multiple GCC states.
  • Participant totals must not be summed across related or overlapping cohorts.
Corrections and versioning

Every release is dated and versioned. To suggest a correction or a missing project, email the public accession or source to nuqta@nuqta.sa.

The editorial layer

Atlas maps the record. Nuqta Briefing tracks what changes.

Every two weeks, Nuqta Briefing connects new research and datasets with the institutions, funding, policy, events, and people shaping genomics across Saudi Arabia and the Gulf.
