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...

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...
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...
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...
Patterns of damage in genomic DNA sequences from a NeandertalAdrian W Briggs

Computational challenges in the analysis of ancient DNAKay Prüfer
Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, Deutscher Platz 6, 04103 Leipzig, Germany
Genome Biol 11:R47. 2010..We show that more accurate genome divergence estimates from ancient DNA sequence can be attained using at least two outgroup genomes and appropriate filtering...

Functionality of intergenic transcription: an evolutionary comparisonPhilipp Khaitovich
Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, Leipzig, Germany

Unproductive splicing of SR genes associated with highly conserved and ultraconserved DNA elementsLiana F Lareau
Department of Molecular and Cell Biology and, University of California, Berkeley, California 94720, USA
Nature 446:926-9. 2007..We find that unproductive splicing associated with conserved regions has arisen independently in different SR genes, suggesting that splicing factors may readily acquire this form of regulation...
Pairwise alignment incorporating dipeptide covariationGavin E Crooks
Department of Plant and Microbial Biology 111 Koshland Hall 3102 University of California, Berkeley, CA 94720 3102, USA
Bioinformatics 21:3704-10. 2005..Therefore, the standard assumption that individual residues within protein sequences evolve independently of neighboring positions appears to be an efficient and appropriate approximation...
Genome-wide analysis reveals an unexpected function for the Drosophila splicing factor U2AF50 in the nuclear export of intronless mRNAsMarco Blanchette
Department of Molecular and Cell Biology, University of California, Berkeley, Berkeley, CA 94720, USA
Mol Cell 14:775-86. 2004..Immunopurification of nuclear RNP complexes showed that dU2AF50 associates with intronless mRNAs. These results reveal an unexpected role for the splicing factor dU2AF50 in the nuclear export of intronless mRNAs...
