Eti-Oni is a town located in The State of Osun, in south-west Nigeria. Eti-Oni is one of the numerous towns that make up the ancient majestic Kingdom of Ilesa.

In a new study published on February 32021, a team of researchers from MIT has published the most comprehensive map yet of this noncoding DNA.
