Archaeogenetic study of a relatively small oasis population el-Hayez revealed a specific clade belonging to mtDNA haplogroup T that originated in the Near East but further must evolved somewhere in Egyptian Western desert during the Neolithic. High internal variability of several mtDNA lineages from haplogroup T is presented in the article. The whole genome sequencing strategy and molecular dating allowed us to detect the accumulation of local mitochondrial DNA diversity to about 5,000 years before present. Similarly, the Y-chromosome gene pool reveals high frequencies of the Near Eastern J1 and the North African E1b1b1b lineages, both generally known to have expanded within North Africa during the Neolithic. These results provide another piece of evidence of the relatively young population history of Saharan oases.
