NASHVILLE, Tennessee, Oct. 8 [TNSscientificresearch] -- Vanderbilt University issued the following news:
When it comes to our differences from Neanderthals, most of what we know comes from comparing fossils. But fossils can only tell us about bones and not whole living organisms.
That's changing thanks to a new paper from a team of genomics researchers at Vanderbilt, who have developed a first-of-its-kind computational method. Their approach uses Neanderthal DNA th . . .
