TL;DR: The genomic data suggest that Neandertals mixed with modern human ancestors some 120,000 years ago, leaving traces of Ne andertal DNA in contemporary humans, suggesting that gene flow from Neand Bertals into the ancestors of non-Africans occurred before the divergence of Eurasian groups from each other.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering Enhancement Factors: A Comprehensive Study
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an in-depth study of surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) enhancement factors and cross-sections, including several issues often overlooked, and demonstrate that SERS EFs as low as 107, as opposed to the figure of 1014 often claimed in the literature, are sufficient for SERS applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Illumina Sequencing Library Preparation for Highly Multiplexed Target Capture and Sequencing
Matthias Meyer,Martin Kircher +1 more
TL;DR: This protocol describes a fast and reliable method for the preparation of barcoded ("indexed") sequencing libraries for Illumina's Genome Analyzer platform, which avoids expensive library preparation kits and can be performed in a 96-well plate setup using multi-channel pipettes, requiring not more than two or three days of lab work.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is shown that interbreeding, albeit of low magnitude, occurred among many hominin groups in the Late Pleistocene and a definitive list of substitutions that became fixed in modern humans after their separation from the ancestors of Neanderthals and Denisovans is established.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The genomic sequence provides evidence for very low rates of heterozygosity in the Denisova, probably not because of recent inbreeding, but instead because of a small population size, and illuminates the relationships between humans and archaics, including Neandertals, and establishes a catalog of genetic changes within the human lineage.
