Genome sequences from extinct relatives.
Cell. 2008 Aug 8;134(3):388-9
Authors: Clark AG
Next-generation sequencing methods use massively parallel detection of short sequencing reactions, making them ideal for the analysis of ancient DNA. In this issue, Green et al. (2008) exploit this feature to infer the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of one Neanderthal and place bounds on its time of common ancestry with modern humans.
