Ancient human genome sequence of an extinct Palaeo-Eskimo

Ancient human genome sequence of an extinct Palaeo-Eskimo

We report here the genome sequence of an ancient human. Obtained from,4,000-year-old permafrost-preserved hair, thegenome represents a male individual from the first known culture to settle in Greenland. Sequenced to an average depth of203, we recover 79% of the diploid genome, an amount close to th...
