Not exact matches

Comparisons of the Neandertal genome to the genomes of five present - day humans from different parts of the world identify a number of genomic regions that may have been affected by positive selection in ancestral modern humans, including genes involved in metabolism and in cognitive and skeletal development.

In particular, the Neandertal genome sequence can now be used to catalog changes that have become «fixed» (are invariant within a population or species) in modern humans during the last few hundred thousand years and should be helpful for identifying genes affected by positive selection since humans diverged from NeandertalIn particular, the Neandertal genome sequence can now be used to catalog changes that have become «fixed» (are invariant within a population or species) in modern humans during the last few hundred thousand years and should be helpful for identifying genes affected by positive selection since humans diverged from Neandertalin modern humans during the last few hundred thousand years and should be helpful for identifying genes affected by positive selection since humans diverged from Neandertals.

By sequencing a remarkably complete genome from a 50,000 - year - old bone fragment of a female Neandertal found in Vindija Cave in Croatia, researchers report a new trove of gene variants that living people outside of Africa obtained from Neandertals.
