Analysis of one million base pairs of Neanderthal DNA

Article Abstract:

Direct high-throughput sequencing of a 38-year-old Neanderthal fossil which is exceptionally free of contamination from modern human DNA yielded over one million base pairs of hominoid nuclear DNA sequences. Comparison with the human and chimpanzee genomes reveals that modern human and Neanderthal DNA sequences diverged on average about 500,000 years ago.

Neanderthal genome sees first light

Article Abstract:

Two research teams have published the first glimpse of a Neanderthal genome, which was extracted from the same bone of a Neanderthal male found in a Croatian cave. A full Neanderthal genome could be sequenced within two years, given the advances in DNA sequencing.

Neanderthal teeth lined up

Article Abstract:

A large amount of biological information is preserved in the growth records of teeth. Teeth preserve their growth records, the daily increments of deposition of the crown enamel and also the underlying dentine, from which roots are formed.
