The research highlights ancient East Asian admixtures, possibly from Mongolian migrations, and recent assimilation with local groups like the Konkanis.
Using machine learning, the researchers built a model of COVID-19 severity and prediction of hospitalisation based on clinical data and metabolic profiles collected from patients hospitalized with the disease.
