Them bones gonna rise again : Only a few weeks ago the Neandertal genome, deciphered from small amounts of ancient DNA, was published. This mileston was possible thanks to tremendous improvements in DNA‐sequencing technologies. The picture shows a bone fragment from which genomic DNA was isolated for the sequencing experiment.
