Co-author Andrea Manica, a population geneticist at the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom, has posted a note online explaining that incompatibility between two software packages used to compare Mota's genome with
the reference human genome led the software program to simply drop certain DNA variants, with the result that all living Africans seemed to have inherited more «Eurasian» DNA than they actually did.
The millions of base pairs of sequence that Genovese and McCarroll's team have located will be added to the next release of
the reference human genome assembly — the «Google maps» of the human genome that geneticists use every day — providing a more comprehensive view of the genome and how the pieces all fit together.
Incompatible software Manica says that the error occurred when his team compared genetic variants in the ancient Ethiopian man with those in
the reference human genome.
