Although the first ancient DNA molecules were extracted more than three decades ago, the
first ancient nuclear genomes could only be characterized after high-throughput sequencing …

Over the past decade, a genomics revolution, made possible through the development of
high-throughput sequencing, has triggered considerable progress in the study of ancient …

Neandertals, the closest evolutionary relatives of present-day humans, lived in large parts of
Europe and western Asia before disappearing 30,000 years ago. We present a draft …

Using DNA extracted from a finger bone found in Denisova Cave in southern Siberia, we
have sequenced the genome of an archaic hominin to about 1.9-fold coverage. This …

Due to the increasing throughput of current DNA sequencing instruments, sample
multiplexing is necessary for making economical use of available sequencing capacities. A …

Background Recent analyses of de novo DNA mutations in modern humans have suggested
a nuclear substitution rate that is approximately half that of previous estimates based on …

Although a rich record of Pleistocene human-associated archaeological assemblages
exists, the scarcity of hominin fossils often impedes the understanding of which hominins …

We report here the genome sequence of an ancient human. Obtained from∼ 4,000-year-old
permafrost-preserved hair, the genome represents a male individual from the first known …

The geographic and temporal origins of the domestic dog remain controversial, as genetic
data suggest a domestication process in East Asia beginning 15,000 years ago, whereas …

Human Evolutionary Genetics is a groundbreaking text which for the first time brings
together molecular genetics and genomics to the study of the origins and movements of …
