Patterns of damage in genomic DNA sequences from a NeandertalAdrian W Briggs
Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, Deutscher Platz 6, D 04103 Leipzig, Germany
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 104:14616-21. 2007..The results suggest that reliable genome sequences can be obtained from Pleistocene organisms...
Targeted retrieval and analysis of five Neandertal mtDNA genomesAdrian W Briggs
Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, D 04103 Leipzig, Germany
Science 325:318-21. 2009..Together with analyses of mtDNA protein evolution, these data suggest that the long-term effective population size of Neandertals was smaller than that of modern humans and extant great apes...
Removal of deaminated cytosines and detection of in vivo methylation in ancient DNAAdrian W Briggs
Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, D 04103 Leipzig, Germany
Nucleic Acids Res 38:e87. 2010..In addition, our results demonstrate that Neandertal DNA retains in vivo patterns of CpG methylation, potentially allowing future studies of gene inactivation and imprinting in ancient organisms...
Targeted investigation of the Neandertal genome by array-based sequence captureHernán A Burbano
Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, D 04103 Leipzig, Germany
Science 328:723-5. 2010..By generating the sequence of one Neandertal and 50 present-day humans at these positions, we have identified 88 amino acid substitutions that have become fixed in humans since our divergence from the Neandertals...
A draft sequence of the Neandertal genomeRichard E Green
Department of Evolutionary Genetics, Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, D 04103 Leipzig, Germany
Science 328:710-22. 2010....
The Neandertal genome and ancient DNA authenticityRichard E Green
Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, Leipzig, Germany
EMBO J 28:2494-502. 2009..For analyses of other fossil hominins, which may become possible in the future, we suggest a similar 'boot-strap' approach in which interim approaches are applied until sufficient data for more definitive direct assays are acquired...
A complete Neandertal mitochondrial genome sequence determined by high-throughput sequencingRichard E Green
Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, D 04103 Leipzig, Germany
Cell 134:416-26. 2008..There is evidence that purifying selection in the Neandertal mtDNA was reduced compared with other primate lineages, suggesting that the effective population size of Neandertals was small...
A complete mtDNA genome of an early modern human from Kostenki, RussiaJohannes Krause
Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, Deutscher Platz 6, D 04103 Leipzig, Germany
Curr Biol 20:231-6. 2010..We use these features to determine a complete mtDNA sequence from a approximately 30,000-year-old EMH from the Kostenki 14 site in Russia...
Road blocks on paleogenomes--polymerase extension profiling reveals the frequency of blocking lesions in ancient DNAPatricia Heyn
Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, Deutscher Platz 6, D 04103 Leipzig, Germany
Nucleic Acids Res 38:e161. 2010....
From micrograms to picograms: quantitative PCR reduces the material demands of high-throughput sequencingMatthias Meyer
Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, Deutscher Platz 6, D 04103 Leipzig, Germany
Nucleic Acids Res 36:e5. 2008..The method should also apply to Illumina/Solexa and ABI/SOLiD sequencing, and should therefore help to widen the accessibility of all three platforms...
Analysis of one million base pairs of Neanderthal DNARichard E Green
Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, Deutscher Platz 6, D 04103 Leipzig, Germany
Nature 444:330-6. 2006..Existing technology and fossil resources are now sufficient to initiate a Neanderthal genome-sequencing effort...
Mitochondrial genomes reveal an explosive radiation of extinct and extant bears near the Miocene-Pliocene boundaryJohannes Krause
Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, Deutscher Platz 6, D 04103 Leipzig, Germany
BMC Evol Biol 8:220. 2008..Widely divergent topologies have been suggested based on various data sets and methods...
