>The Copts represent a well-known ethnic group, generally practicing Christianity, which migrated from Egypt to Sudan around 200 years ago, settling in a predominately Muslim region. The ADMIXTURE analyses and the PCA displayed the genetic affinity of the Copts to the Egyptian population (Fig 2, S1-6, S11 and S13-S16 Figs). Assuming few clusters, the Copts appeared admixed between Near Eastern/European populations and northeastern Sudanese and look similar in their genetic profile to the Egyptians. Assuming greater number of clusters (K≥18), the Copts formed their own separate ancestry component that was shared with Egyptians but can also be found in Arab populations (Fig 2). This behavior in the admixture analyses is consistent with shared ancestry between Copts and Egyptians and/or additional genetic drift in the Copts [41, 42].https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10631636/
>Eurasian admixture has had a large influence on the genomes of Northeast African groups. The Egyptian and Sudanese Copt populations for instance are genetically very similar to Middle Eastern groups rather than to other African populations. The pattern is true also for the rest of North Africa and present as early as at least 15 000 years ago [10] though not investigated here. The Copts look genetically similar to the Egyptians from Cairo, see Fig 1A and 1COps, not a good day for nafri copers it seems
