“…Given the deep level of genetic differentiation between the lineages, we assume that there was a long period (up to 5.0 My) of allopatric differentiation when the lineages were separated by geographic or/and ecological barriers and evolved in late Pliocene and Pleistocene refugia of north Africa, the Iberian and Balkan Peninsulas, the Middle East and Central Asia. We discuss the refugia-within-refugia concept as a mechanism explaining the presence of additional diverged minor haplogroups within the areas of the major haplogroups. …”

“…As an international field of study, significant growth of CMR was documented by a strong increase in SCMR scientific session attendance (> 500%, 270 to 1406 from 1998 to 2017, number of accepted abstracts (> 700%, 98 to 701 from 1998 to 2018) and number of international participants (42–415% increase for participants from Asia, Central and South America, Middle East and Africa in 2004–2017). ‘Word clouds’ based evaluation of research trends illustrated a shift from early focus on ‘MRI technique feasibility’ to new established techniques (e.g. late gadolinium enhancement) and their clinical applications and translation (key words ‘patient’, ‘disease’) and more recently novel techniques and quantitative CMR imaging (key words ‘mapping’, ‘T1’, ‘flow’, ‘function’). …”
