Development and evaluations of the ancestry informative markers of the VISAGE Enhanced Tool for Appearance and Ancestry
The VISAGE Enhanced Tool for Appearance and Ancestry (ET) has been designed to combine markers for the prediction of bio-geographical ancestry plus a range of externally visible characteristics into a single massively parallel sequencing (MPS) assay. We describe the development of the ancestry panel markers used in ET, and the enhanced analyses they provide compared to previous MPS-based forensic ancestry assays. As well as established autosomal single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that differentiate sub-Saharan African, European, East Asian, South Asian, Native American, and Oceanian populations, ET includes autosomal SNPs able to efficiently differentiate populations from Middle East regions [...]The study was supported by the European Unionâs Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme under grant agreement No. 740580 within the framework of the VISible Attributes through GEnomics (VISAGE) Project and Consortium.

Etude cartographique des orchidées de Kabylie, Numidie, AurÚs (Algérie)
International audienceThis document is a summary of recent data about orchids from north-eastern Algeria. The areas concerned are the Kabylia in the broad sense and the historic Algerian Numidia with its adjacent mountains of Hodna and AurĂšs. They are very diverse territories in terms of geography (from the coast up to + 2000m altitude), bioclimate (from the semi-arid stage to the per-humid stage) and lithology (alluvium, limestone, dolomite, clays, shales, sandstones, granites, etc.).All the data published from 2005 have been synthesised and a lot of unpublished data observed from 2002 has been gathered thanks to around fifteen collaborators. Despite this, many sectors are still untouched for exploration and will need to be investigated in the future.Thus, 55 species have been illustrated and mapped. 8 others are known historically but have not yet been found. Finally, a last one has been reported in the past by mistake. The main synonyms are reminded. The taxonomic choice is following a similar recent work carried out on the Tunisian Orchids, with some rearrangements at the genus levela. A new nomenclatural combination has been created for the needs (Androrchis pauciflora subsp. laeta).A call for contributions is launched to all professional and amateurs Algerian botanists in order to continue the work through the whole Algerian TellCe document est un travail de synthĂšse des donnĂ©es rĂ©centes concernant les OrchidĂ©es du nord-est de lâAlgĂ©rie. Les rĂ©gions concernĂ©es sont la Kabylie au sens large et la Numidie historique algĂ©rienne avec ses montagnes adjacentes du Hodna et de lâAurĂšs. Ce sont des territoires trĂšs divers sur le plan gĂ©ographique (du littoral jusquâĂ + de 2000m dâaltitude), bioclimatique (de lâĂ©tage semi-aride Ă lâĂ©tage per-humide) et lithologique (alluvions, calcaires, dolomies, argiles, schistes, grĂšs, granites, etc.). Toutes les donnĂ©es publiĂ©es Ă partir de 2005 ont Ă©tĂ© synthĂ©tisĂ©es et beaucoup de donnĂ©es inĂ©dites observĂ©es Ă partir de 2002 ont Ă©tĂ© rassemblĂ©es grĂące Ă une quinzaine de collaborateurs.
