Evolutionary biology: Ancient genomics is born
David M. Lambert1 & Craig D. Millar2
Abstract
The reality of a complete Neanderthal genome draws near, as two papers report the sequencing of large amounts of Neanderthal DNA. The results will help to answer some central questions on human evolution.
The study of ancient DNA fascinates everybody. But it has a chequered history, with several high-profile failures — such as false reports of the amplification of DNA sequences from dinosaurs1 — taking the sheen off undoubted success stories.
