The entire genome from Pe & #351;tera Muierii 1 sequenced

(Uppsala University) Researchers at Uppsala University have successfully sequenced the entire genome from the skull of Peştera Muierii 1, a woman who lived in today's Romania 35,000 years ago. Her high genetic diversity shows that the out of Africa migration was not the great bottleneck in human development but rather this occurred during and after the most recent Ice Age. The study is now published in Current Biology.
