Recalibrating Equus evolution using the genome sequence of an early Middle Pleistocene horse

Recalibrating Equus evolution using the genome sequence of an early Middle Pleistocene horse

The rich fossil record of equids has made them a model for evolutionary processes1. Here we present a 1.12-times coverage draft genome from a horse bone recovered from permafrost dated to approximately 560–780 thousand years before present (kyr bp)2, 3. Our data represent the oldest full genome sequ...
