Journal ArticleDOI

A Draft Sequence of the Neandertal Genome

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

The complete genome sequence of a Neanderthal from the Altai Mountains

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

Great ape genetic diversity and population history

Javier Prado-Martinez, +79 more
- 25 Jul 2013 - 
TL;DR: This comprehensive catalogue of great ape genome diversity provides a framework for understanding evolution and a resource for more effective management of wild and captive great ape populations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Patterns of damage in genomic DNA sequences from a Neandertal

TL;DR: DNA sequences determined from a Neandertal, a mammoth, and a cave bear show that purines are overrepresented at positions adjacent to the breaks in the ancient DNA, suggesting that depurination has contributed to its degradation.
