"Through his pioneering research, Svante Paabo accomplished something seemingly impossible: sequencing the genome of the Neanderthal, an extinct relative of present-day humans," the committee said in a statement. "He also made the sensational discovery of a previously unknown hominin, Denisova." The scientist found that gene transfer had occurred from these now extinct hominins to Homo sapiens following the migration out of Africa around 70,000 years ago. "This ancient flow of genes to present-day humans has physiological relevance today, for ex

National project to collect genomes for 150,000 people in Japan

Machines for analyzing genetic information are seen at a laboratory of Tohoku University in July 2014. The Japanese state-run university based in Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture, leads a controversial national project to collect genomes from 150,000 people in the northeastern Japanese region of Tohoku hit by the 2011 earthquake and tsunami disaster.
