How many copies (if any) of a certain human gene are present in the Neanderthal genome?

26 June 2013 1 4K Report

Need help from someone who knows how to look at the Neanderthal genome sequence

Here is the link to the database at the Max-Plank-Institute http://www.eva.mpg.de/neandertal/index.html

Each human gene is present once in the Neanderthal genome. Neanderthals were humans, more than 99.9% identical in DNA to modern humans. Svante Paabo has a book out now, that tells all about the sequencing of the Neanderthal and Denisova genomes, and what they found in them: http://www.amazon.com/Neanderthal-Man-Search-Lost-Genomes/dp/0465020836
