Still Waters Posted May 26, 2022 #1 Share Posted May 26, 2022 The first successfully sequenced human genome from an individual who died in Pompeii, Italy, after the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 CE is presented this week in a study published in Scientific Reports. Prior to this, only short stretches of mitochondrial DNA from Pompeiian human and animal remains had been sequenced. https://phys.org/news/2022-05-pompeiian-human-genome-sequenced.html https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-022-10899-1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
