Resurrecting surviving Neandertal lineages from modern human genomes.

Science (New York, N.Y.) - 28 Feb 2014

Vernot Benjamin, Akey Joshua M

Abstract excerpt

Anatomically modern humans overlapped and mated with Neandertals such that non-African humans inherit ~1 to 3% of their genomes from Neandertal ancestors. We identified Neandertal lineages that persist in the DNA of modern humans, in whole-genome sequences from 379 European and 286 East Asian individuals, recovering more than 15 gigabases of introgressed sequence that spans ~20% of the Neandertal genome (false...
